Learning and Performance Portal - How to Find, Request, and Launch Training

The Learning and Performance portal uses a tool called Cornerstone for all St. Thomas required training, in person and remote workshops, and other professional development opportunities. You can search for Learning titles or browse the Events Calendar for training you're interested in. Other training may be required by your department or unit. You can track your progress and see your transcript under Learner Home. 

This powerful new tool is designed to support your ongoing professional growth and development by providing you with easy access to learning resources, performance tracking, and feedback tools - all in one place. 

Note: The Performance platform is under construction with more information coming soon. This article only covers the Learning side of the tool.

Still Need Help?

Please keep in mind this is a change for how we access training and professional development at St. Thomas. Remember these tips when using the tool and reach out if you need help. 

Remember:

• Required and Requested training is accessed through One.StThomas.edu Apps and Tools > Learning and Performance.
• Clicking "Request" on a training title will automatically register/enroll you into the training. 
• For "Remote" workshops, there is no visible or sharable Zoom link. Notifications go directly to your email and will include a Launch link. 

Reach out:

• AskHR if you have questions about the Learning and Performance app.   
• You can also use the "Request for Service" button at the top of this page (if signed into OST).
