Project Overview
Arizona state law requires that all state employees complete a Public Service Orientation that covers policies and laws relating to the proper business conduct for a public employee. The training is currently offered on the HR website.
University Initiatives & Policy partnered with Human Resources and EDGE Learning to turn the Arizona Public Service Orientation into a more thorough, engaging training in EDGE Learning. Subject matter experts for each policy and law provided valuable input on the training. In addition, campus partners from the Compliance Office, Privacy Office, Human Resources, and the Office of the General Counsel provided overall review and guidance.

- Public access to records and information
