Guidance for new staff: Training

Initial training

The job-specific induction programme your manager will have put together for you will provide an introduction to the key elements of your job, and the working arrangements, practices and objectives of your department. They may also provide you with information about the University as a whole.

We strongly recommend you complete the central induction curriculum which aims to build upon your department induction with broader information about the University, its organisation, vision and culture. This will be assigned to your training record as part of your induction and you should receive an email within the first week of your start date.

Statutory and compliance training

All University of York staff are required to complete statutory (ie the University is legally required to provide) and compliance (ie the University has identified this as a training requirement) training relevant to their employment terms and role.

This training can be accessed on the statutory and compliance training web page.

For associate staff and casual workers, this training is provided separately. An Associate staff/student IT account is required. This training can be accessed on the Mandatory training for associate staff web page.

You will work with your line manager to identify any other statutory and compliance training needs that are specific to your department or role.

Developmental training

You and your manager may also identify other training areas which, if not strictly required, would help you carry out your role.

Capturing these training requirements will form part of your objective setting.
