Deadline for NYS Mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training is Fast Approaching!
The October 2019 deadline for employees to complete New York's mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training is fast approaching!
The Delaware County Chamber of Commerce is offering a reduced fee of $10 per employee for a mandatory New York State Mandatory Sexual Harassment Training.
The normal fee of $20 has been reduced by 50% with a Workforce Development Institute of New York grant awarded to the Chamber to offset the cost of taking this mandatory training.
This online training workshop is an interactive, self-paced learning system in which participants are assessed and led through customized content modules.
The grant to offset the cost of the training was obtained with the assistance of New York State Assemblyman Brian Miller who represents the 101st Assembly District of New York and includes a portion of Delaware County.
To enroll your staff in the mandatory online training at the reduced cost, click
here.
