Learning Partner Roles

Learning Partners have security in Workday that allows them to view learning data and possibly enroll or cancel learning for employees they support. There are two types of Learning Partner roles. These roles can be assigned by requesting through your school, college, or division’s human resources representative.

If you have a course that should be in Workday, please submit the New Workday Learning Course Request Form (see related New Course Request job aid). Note: all employees will have access to this form and have the ability to request a course in Workday.
