The beginning of summer also marks the beginning of the last quarter in the 2006 Training Year. During the month of July, we will be running our “end of the training year” e-learning contest.

The Distance Learning and Information Center has 56 NETg courses available covering a wide range of topics from writing effective e-mails to improving your memory and time management skills. Complete any of these courses with a passing score of 70% or better and your name will be entered into a drawing to receive prizes from our e-learning vendor Thomson/NETg.

To access the courses, click on the On-Line Training icon, then click on In-Service Training and click on any of the links under Other Menu Courses which is located on the bottom left of the In-Service Training page. Employees who do not have a current account can set up an account by contacting the Curriculum Unit via e-mail at MDOC-DTA-DISTANCE.

Registration information that is required to set up an account includes:
Name (first & last), Employee ID number, Department e-mail Address, Phone Number, Work Site (i.e Pugsley Correctional Facility, Chrysler District Probation)

To participate:
1. Successfully complete any NETg course.
2. Send an e-mail to MDOC-DTA-DISTANCE. Please indicate e-learning contest in the subject line of your e-mail and include your name, your work site, and the name of the course you completed.
