“Why is my inbox filled with training reminders?”

This morning you may have noticed an email from myTraining-noreply@ufl.edu in your inbox and wondered, “Who is this myTraining-noreply and why do I keep receiving emails from them asking me to complete another training?” A number of needs have prompted a surge of required courses this fall, but each really does fulfill a unique and necessary purpose. Here’s a quick breakdown:
