CSU Learn
In early 2019, SSU successfully migrated from SkillSoft to a new streamlined learning portal for faculty, staff, and student employees; CSU Learn. This new learning portal allows our campus to assign and leverage content including professional development and compliance courses. SSU employees can now access required compliance training and more than 75,000 online lessons, videos, e-books, and classes! Employees can brush up on their Project Management skills, further their understanding of Excel, strengthen their business writing abilities, work towards a professional certification, and more. The CSU Learn Professional Development Courses guide provides an introduction to the resources available through CSU Learn.
