Training Update

Contributed by Patty Marbury

Training for Workday Financials is in full swing.  By the time you read this, over 1000 users will have attended an instructor-led or self-paced course and gotten the training they need to do their jobs when the system goes live on July 5, 2022.  

See training calendars and more on the Workday Financials Training page

Training courses were designed for those roles that execute high-impact transactions in Workday and/or roles that have large numbers of people assigned to them. Not all roles have required or formal training. We've put together a Security Role and Training Overview to go over which roles have required training, which don't, and what resources are available for all. You can access this resource at the website linked above, or via this direct link.

It's good to bookmark the Workday Financials Training page, as it contains many helpful resources, and all learning materials associated with the courses will be posted there by mid-June.  

Training will continue through go-live and after, but don't wait to complete your training.  Here are some other actions besides training that you can take to get  ready for Workday Financials: 

• Review FST Friday Materials, posted on the FST Resources page (scroll to the bottom).  You can also access this Q/A document from the sessions.
• Get familiar with Workday Digital Assist, which offers on-screen guidance and step-by-step assistance in real-time.
• Review the relevant QRGs (Quick Reference Guides) related to the things you'll do in Workday (QRGs are located at the bottom of the page).
• Check out the Security Roles: Day in the Life Summaries to learn more about what different roles do in Workday.
