Workday Learning is a single site for employee training and professional development for all Universities of Wisconsin. The catalog of courses will continue to grow and currently includes mandatory training, which is assigned to individuals when they need to complete it.

In addition to the growing catalog of Universities of Wisconsin courses, we have also incorporated the full LinkedIn Learning catalog.

• Check out the Learning dashboard to find courses that have been assigned to you or find a course that matches your interests. Make sure to use the filters.
• Once you find a course to complete, make sure you enroll yourself or save the course for later.
  • Managers and campus learning staff can also assign and enroll you in courses.
• All courses taken through Workday, including mandatory training, will appear on your learning transcript.
• If you have completed LinkedIn Learning courses from your university’s system, you can link the courses to your LinkedIn profile. They won’t appear in Workday, but you won’t lose the record.

Check out all of the Workday Learning resources. If you have questions, reach out using one of the GetHelpUW methods.
