Training Update: Answering some Frequently Asked Questions

Contributed by Patty Marbury

Now that roles are in the process of being finalized and folks may be taking advantage of FST Fridays to get a sneak peek of the system, questions about training are bubbling up to the surface.  Here are a couple of the most frequently asked questions we're getting, with answers!

How do I register for training? Where will the training calendar be posted when it is available?

The training calendar with links to register will be posted on the UVAFinance website by April 15, 2022.  Enrollment will be done in Workday. We will offer multiple instructor-led sessions for all courses, but more for high-volume roles like financial accounting, grants management, and payroll. The role with the highest volume is Procurement Shopper with over 2400 people identified for the role, but this course will be offered as a web-based course, so when you don't see that on the schedule, do not worry!

What methods of training will be offered?

Everyone will have access to an instructor-led class held virtually on Zoom for the role(s) they must fulfill. Every instructor-led class will also have a web-based class if you prefer. Instructor-led classes will provide hands-on activities and opportunities for Q&A. The web-based courses are self-paced and also provide an easy way to review the content whenever you want. Any questions that arise from the web-based courses (including technical questions about accessing the course or other issues) can be submitted for answers to askfinance@virginia.edu. Post-July 1, 2022 we will also be offering open office hours.

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you have about training!
