3. Where Are Your Learners Based?
There are federal training requirements for anti-harassment training, but individual states may have more rigorous mandates. Foundry requires that a Location be attached to each learner to ensure they receive the appropriate and relevant content based on where they are employed.
Customers using the SCORM Integration will need a unique content package per state that has specific mandates. For companies and organizations, these include CA, CT, DE, FL, IL, LA, ME, MD, NY, TX, WA. Connecticut has specific requirements for non-supervisors and should use the Non-Supervisor Extended version.
