Please ensure that you and your teams are up to date with required trainings. Additionally, if you feel as though you would like or need a refresher course on a topic for which you have already completed training some time ago, the YSM Controller’s Office encourages you to retake those training sessions, as policies, forms, contacts, etc. may have changed over time. Contact Lauren Campbell, BOOST Training Manager (lauren.campbell@yale.edu) with questions.
Training Highlights
The YSM Centralized Billing Process and Accounts Receivable Reporting class will be held on March 31, 2023. This will be a great opportunity for new staff to learn all about YSM's billing process and for current staff to bring forth any questions regarding the current process within their departments.
Contact Lauren Campbell, BOOST Training Manager (lauren.campbell@yale.edu) with questions.
Introduction to Chart of Accounts now offered as an online class!
Introduction to Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) is being developed for on-demand eLearning. The last live sessions are from Jan. 30 - Feb. 2. Stay tuned to OSP News & Updates to be notified when the eLearning is available. (Estimated March 2023) – this is of immense benefit for new hires (and their hiring managers) to have the opportunity to complete SPA as an online training versus waiting until it’s offered once or so a quarter. This training is a prerequisite for Research Administration Trainings offered by OSP. Big win!
