For the first time in state history, over 30,000 state employees have completed online training.

The Office of Inspector General’s computer-based ethics training has successfully trained over 30,000 state employees and special state appointees across the state. This record number was accomplished in less than seven months. It also immediately monitors and reports by agency those who have and have not completed the training to insure better accountability.

The training helps ensure a state worker’s understanding of the rules by engaging the worker with interactive questions throughout the course. It also insures a more uniform and efficient method of education. The OIG is in the final stages of training, but anticipates that the number of employees who complete ethics training will continue to increase exponentially.
