MADISON, WI – Managing and tracking credit union employees' educational achievements through CUNA's courses just became a lot easier. On November 5, CUNA's Center for Professional Development (CPD) launched a new Learning Management Software (LMS) package that allows credit union trainers, employees, and leagues to access course records online.

"With this system the students have access to their own transcripts--which they didn't have before," says Connie Boekholder, manager of national certificate programs for CPD. "They'll be able to view all their course work that is done through our department whether it was done online, paper-based, or at a face-to-face event."

In the past if, for example, a credit union manager wanted to see which courses an employee completed that year before they meet for a performance appraisal, the manager would have to call the league or CUNA to request the report. CUNA would then have to pull the report, copy it, and fax or mail it to the credit union.

Now credit unions can simply log on to the system and view reports for a specific employee or the entire credit union. Before the new system's debut, CUNA typically received 20-25 report requests per regular week, and up to 50 during a busy week.

In partnership with state credit union leagues, CUNA's Center for Professional Development is the premier provider of educational products and services to the Credit Union System. It offers training to credit union professionals in a variety of formats, including schools, conferences, certification programs, and educational print, video and software products.
