On date of hire, each new employee will be registered into the required courses and the policy mandated completion time logged at state office. Each WIC staff member will only see the specific job course as well as any state provided annual training (i.e.) Civil Rights. Dashboard This is the opening landing page that you will always come to after your first log-in and having accepted all assigned courses. - Each employee from Director on down with see the Civil Rights Training Module for current Federal Fiscal Year (Oct 1 st Sept. 30 th ) - The other courses each WIC Staff member will see will be based on their highest current job level/title (i.e.) someone who works as a CPA and a Peer Counselor will only see the CPA Training course as it s inclusive of Peer Training modules.
