About this training

When we see the phrase “workplace essentials,” we may think undeniably of the many workplace policies, procedures, and documentation filled with rows upon rows of important but indecipherable text. In this training, we’re going to empower you with the necessary vocabulary, concepts, and situations that you need to know to understand those documents yourself, no matter which workplace you belong to! Non-compete agreements and NDAs are going to make a whole lot more sense after this training.

What’s more, you’ll be given a series of scenarios and exercises to hone your judgment about tricky workplace problems, so that you can understand them in a safe, no-consequence environment before having to thrust yourself out into the complexities of an actual job.
