New eLearning Option Created for State Tribal Collaboration Act Cultural Competency Training course
The State Personnel Office (SPO) is pleased to announce that thanks to a collaborative partnership with the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department (IAD), the “State Tribal Collaboration Act Cultural Competency Training” course is now available on-demand as an eLearning course on the Enterprise Learning Management (ELM) system (course code SoNM-2019). This course is mandatory for state employees under the State-Tribal Collaboration Act, which states that “All state agency managers and employees who have ongoing communication with Indian nations, tribes or pueblos shall complete a training provided by the state personnel office with assistance from the Indian affairs department, which training supports: (1) the promotion of effective communication and collaboration between state agencies and Indian nations, tribes or pueblos; (2) the development of positive state-tribal government-to-government relations; and (3) cultural competency in providing effective services to American Indians or Alaska Natives.” Through this training, participants will develop an understanding of the State-Tribal Collaboration Act and how it applies to agencies and employee work, tribal sovereignty and the relations between state and tribes, the role of consultation, collaboration, and communication with tribes, and the history, systems, policies, and laws that impact American Indians.
Access to this course is consistently in high demand, and the addition of the on-demand learning option ensures that all state employees will be able to compete the course in a timely manner and at a time that best fits their work schedule. The eLearning version of the course consists of a video recording of the training being presented by an IAD facilitator, followed by a course review and then a 14-question quiz. The presenter in the video may be heard using your device’s speakers or headphones. Closed captions for the video are also available, and the course was designed to be fully accessible for users of screen readers. At least 10 questions must be answered correctly to pass the quiz and get credit for the course. Completion certificates may be downloaded directly from the ELM system. For state employees who lack access to the ELM system, an alternate course delivery method is available upon request. Register and complete the course directly using the Enterprise Learning Management (ELM) system at https://elm.share.nm.gov/ or email the SPO Learning and Development Bureau for assistance at Learning.Development@spo.nm.gov.
