Training Liaisons are contacts in state government departments. Training Liaisons enroll their departments' employees in PDS courses, communicate cancellations to PDS, promote PDS courses and special events, and may help arrange special sessions. List of Training Liaisons
Enrollments
Training liaisons may receive registration forms for upcoming seminars,
certificate programs, or eLearning. Please enroll employees in
an upcoming seminar through IITS. All certificate program applications
and eLearning applications can be sent to Leslie Grefe.
Cancellations
Please send an email notice to Dawn Stohs when you need to cancel
an employee from a course. Due to financial commitments made by
PDS in order to run courses, PDS is unable to allow Training Liaisons
to cancel employees directly from IITS. For more information on
canceling employees, please see the PDS
Course Cancellation Policy.
Waiting Lists
Waiting lists are utilized to keep track of staff members that would like to attend a seminar that has not yet been scheduled, or when scheduled sessions are full. PDS reviews the waiting list periodically and may schedule additional sessions of seminar where appropriate.
To enroll an employee on a waiting list for a course that:
a) Does not have an upcoming date scheduled
b) An employee cannot attend any of the scheduled course dates
Go into IITS and input the appropriate course number with the date set at 99/07/08.
When an employee wants to attend a specific seminar date, but the session is currently at capacity, you may contact PDS to wait-list the employee. If a seat opens in the seminar, PDS will contact you to verify their availability, and then enroll them in the session.
Special Sessions
Training liaisons are sometimes called upon to help arrange special sessions of our seminars, which can often be held at any location throughout Iowa.
- Read through course descriptions to get an idea of which courses may meet your needs.
- Let PDS know if you have specific needs that you don't see included in a course description. PDS wants to provide you with training that meets your needs and can tailor courses to do just that.
- Identify computer needs. Before arranging computer courses, identify the software used, the skill level needed, and the operating system.
- Determine the number of participants. Pricing may vary depending on the number of people you anticipate to attend the session.
- Schedule courses with PDS as soon as possible. Some PDS courses have a greater demand than others. Some months are busier than others. As soon as you know of upcoming training needs, contact PDS so we can work with you to meet your time frames.
