Training and Development | StarGarden 6 Extended HR

Summary of the Training & Development Functionality:

The StarGarden Training and Development module manages the tracking, planning, costing, and scheduling of in-house and external training courses.

Complete training plans and histories are kept for each employee and future training requirements, such as professional re-certification, can be scheduled as part of each employee's educational profile. Courses can be scheduled down to the lecture level and employees can be enrolled against the predefined schedules.

Skills can be attached to courses which will transfer to the employee skill record upon completion of the course.

Training and Development Overview

Managing employee training in a complex organization means tracking course inventories, schedules, costs, prerequisites, skill transfers, and re-certification deadlines across multiple employee groups, including where collective agreements define employer-funded training obligations and course eligibility by bargaining unit. 

StarGarden 6 gives HR teams a complete system for planning, scheduling, costing, and tracking all of it, with skills transferring automatically on course completion and enrolment requests routed through the embedded workflow toolset.

Key Capabilities

Training and Development includes capabilities to support course planning, scheduling, cost tracking, skill development, enrolment management, and training history across complex organizations.

Manage Internal and External Course Inventories

Track internal and external courses, seminars, and job training programs in a single course inventory. Categorize courses into programs for general classification, attach prerequisites and skills to each course, and maintain schedules, costs, and expenses so training activity is planned and tracked in one place.

Plan and Schedule Training for Every Employee

Maintain complete training plans and histories for every employee, including future training requirements such as professional re-certification. Schedule training as part of each employee's educational profile so upcoming requirements are tracked and visible before deadlines become problems.

Transfer Skills Automatically on Course Completion

Attach user-defined skills to courses and they transfer automatically to the employee skill record when the course is completed. This keeps employee skill profiles current without manual updates, and ensures that skills gained through training are immediately available for position matching, recruitment, and workforce planning.

Manage Training Requests and Enrolment Workflows

Employee and employer training requests are supported, with enrolment routed through StarGarden 6's embedded workflow toolset. This means training requests follow defined approval processes rather than being handled by email or outside the system, and both employer and employee payments towards courses can be tracked and recorded.

Track Course Costs and Expenses

Record and report on course costs and expenses by employee, course category, and skill to give HR and finance teams visibility into training investment across the organization. Standard reports include Employee Course Costs, Employee Courses by Category, and Courses by Category, supporting budget planning and training program analysis.

Report on Training Activity and Course Completion

Generate reports on employee training and course completion, course rosters, courses by skill, and training histories directly from your workforce data. Training records are maintained in the same system as the employee record, so HR teams can report on individual or organizational training activity without a separate system or manual data compilation.

How Training and Development Works

StarGarden 6 gives HR teams a structured system for planning and tracking employee training, managing enrolment through defined workflows, and keeping employee skill records current as training is completed.

Set Up Courses and Training Plans

Define your course inventory with schedules, costs, prerequisites, and skills. Build training plans for individual employees that include both current and future requirements, with re-certification and other scheduled training visible well in advance.

Manage Enrolment and Requests

Route training requests from employees and employers through configured approval workflows. Track enrolment against course schedules and record employer and employee payments towards courses, keeping training administration connected to defined processes rather than managed outside the system.

Track Completion and Update Skills

Record historical details of all employee training as courses are completed. Skills attached to courses transfer automatically to the employee skill record, keeping workforce skill profiles current and connected to position management, recruitment, and performance planning without manual data entry.

Full Connectivity Across StarGarden 6

Training and Development connects directly to the modules, processes, and workflows across StarGarden 6, so training activity stays aligned with employee skills, performance outcomes, and workforce planning.

Core HR

Training and Development connects to Employee Demographics and Organization Management within Core HR. Skills transferred on course completion connect to the position record, so workforce skill profiles reflect actual training history and are available for position matching and organizational planning without separate data entry.

Extended HR

Training and Development sits within Extended HR alongside Recruitment, Employment Equity, Employee Relations, Health and Safety, and Performance Management. Performance review outcomes can trigger training enrolment directly, and skills gained through training feed into recruitment and position matching, closing the loop between learning and workforce capability.

Workflow

StarGarden 6's embedded workflow toolset routes training enrolment requests and approvals through defined channels. Both employee and employer training requests participate in configured workflows, so training administration follows proper approval processes and is visible to the right people at every stage.
