For Employees and Volunteers

Employees and volunteers involved in youth programs on campus should work with their Youth Program Directors and Administrators to ensure compliance with training and reporting requirements.

1. Training
2. Reporting and Responding

Training Platform

All required training modules are available via CSU Learn and the Praesidium Academy platform. Once Youth Program Directors provide a list of youth program employees and volunteers, Enterprise Risk Management will assign all required trainings through the platforms. Youth Program Directors will have access to the platform to track training progress. All trainings must be completed before employees interact with minors as part of the program.

Required Training

Offenders often act in predictable ways and effective training can provide employees and volunteers with the information needed to identify high-risk patterns of behavior and high-risk program characteristics. Training must be specific, frequent, and useful and it must teach how offenders operate, how to recognize suspicious or inappropriate interactions or policy violations and suspected abuse, and how to respond effectively.
