Employees have a wide variety of knowledge and experience with technology. I would love to see some intro 101 classes and advanced classes that staff could engage in.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm guessing I don't even know all of the systems staff use. I would like to incorporate new employee training on systems as well as maybe refresher courses? Also, a list of all systems used (if anyone out there has one please and thank you :). I also think the publishing of that information for all employees would better help them understand career progression/transfer needs

I'd love to get all staff on the same page with technology tools and communication!
