In the same Department of Labor & Employment meeting, staff confirmed that employers must ensure workers complete a required workers’ rights training by an October 1 deadline. Participants compared the training to existing IDD training models and noted that many current trainings are video-based, suggesting a need for more engaging or accessible formats. This creates a time-bound compliance obligation for employers that may require scalable training delivery platforms, content development, and tracking tools.Vendors offering online training content, LMS platforms, accessibility-focused course design, or compliance tracking could support employers and the agency in meeting the October 1 completion requirement and improving the training experience for direct care workers.

A participant suggested modular training plus webinars with Q&A and a discussion platform, indicating openness to blended and interactive learning formats beyond static videos.
