Training Courses:

  • Harassment & Discrimination
     
    Sexual harassment prevention training teaches faculty and staff how to identify, respond to, and report all forms of workplace harassment or discrimination. To foster a healthy workplace culture that encourages high quality performance with ease, it is important to educate Quinnipiac employees on what constitutes workplace or sexual harassment, the different forms harassment can take, and how to effectively resolve the situation.

    This harassment prevention training course leverages a combination of interactive scenarios, video, and real cases to ensure that managers and non-managers get the appropriate information and practice to do their part to create a workplace that is free of harassment and discrimination.

    This course takes approximately 1- 2 hours.
     

  • Privacy and Data Protection
     
    The data protection course offers vital training for organizations doing business in the national and global economy. Privacy laws in the United States and around the world dictate the proper handling of data and university information by faculty and staff. Data protection can have significant consequences if employees fail to comply with privacy protection restrictions. Universities that fail to comply, may face serious risks, including fines and criminal sanctions—and data protection training is critical to mitigating these risks.

    This course takes approximately 1 hour.

    This course takes approximately 30 minutes.
