Mandatory Employee Training

An employee must complete training within the first 4 weeks of hire or when any of the following occur:

• demonstrated lack of understanding or knowledge of module content
• conditions in the workplace change

• new or updated legislation is introduced
• new information becomes available

 

Any newly hired supervisor must complete this training within the first four weeks of hire. Or, if an internal employee is permanently or temporarily hired into a supervisory role, they must complete the supervisor module even if the worker module has been completed. The Health and Safety Awareness Training for Supervisors module is located within the Health and Safety Course Bundle.

• All employees must have an ontariotechu.ca or ontariotech.net before starting the training.
• Once your employment has started, it may take approximately 1 week for the LMS team to set up a new employee profile in Canvas. 

• On the Canvas Catalog Login page, select the appropriate login option:

  •  If you are a current faculty, staff, or student and can already sign in, select Learn LMS Login at https://learn.ontariotechu.ca. 

  • If you are a new employee and are not yet able to sign in to Canvas Learn, select Staff Login.
