Congratulations on your new position and welcome to your ConnectCarolina training.

Today you’ll be working through a series of online training sessions and exercises. How it works is you’ll watch an online training session, then complete the related exercise in the ConnectCarolina system. You’ll be working in the system’s training environment so if you make any mistakes, it’s no problem. The instructions for how to log into the system and exercises are provided in your exercise book.

After you have completed each exercise, be sure to write down any questions or concerns you have in the comments section of your exercise booklet so we can address them when we meet you in person for the classroom portion of your training.

Once you have completed all of the online training sessions and exercises, there will be a brief quiz. Don’t let the quiz worry you. Its purpose is to let you review what you’ve learned and to simply give us an idea of how your day went. And it’s open book.

Remember to give yourself breaks here and there, and if you need a little help, don’t hesitate to give the business systems help desk a call at 919-962-HELP.

Today’s Outline

Complete the online training sessions and exercises in the order they are listed. We’ve provided how long each online training session is to help you budget your time for the day. Each related exercise will also take about 10-15 minutes, but take as long as you need to feel comfortable with the steps.

To track your progress, there are boxes next to each section so you can check them off as you’re working. And remember, if you need help, don’t hesitate to give the business systems help desk a call at 919-962-HELP.
