Workshops and Training

The TAMU System has developed an online training program called Retention of State Records (#11015). The class is available through HR Connect on the Training menu. Some people with records responsibilities on campus will be required to take this class, but the class is available to anyone. The online training covers the basics of state records laws and the TAMU System regulation for records management. As records manager, I have completed the training necessary to assign persons with records responsibilities to the online class. The second group has been assigned, and I am ready to make assignments for additional groups. I haven't come up with a penalty for not taking the class if you are lucky enough to be among those selected, but it may be that I will come to your office for a personal training session! So take that online class!

Employee & Organizational Development has developed two new online classes available through TrainTraq. They are File Management (#2111142) and Fundamentals of Managing Departmental Records (#2111143). These basic classes are designed to help university employees meet the core competencies.

Customized Training Sessions
We will continue to offer individualized, small group, and departmental training. We can customize a workshop to answer your specific questions and address your records management needs. Possible topics include records management basics, using the campus records center, using the retention schedule, new employee training, new records coordinator training, setting up a filing system, and managing paper and electronic records. Please contact us to arrange to come to the Records Center or for us to visit your department.
