What is TRAIN?
The Division of Public Health, Section of Community Health and EMS, Primary Care and Rural Health Unit is in the process of obtaining a State site on the national web-based TrainingFinder Real-time Affiliate Integrated Network (TRAIN) which is under development by the Public Health Foundation.

The primary objective of TRAIN is to establish a single, easy to find and use, learning management system for public health which would enable public health workforce partners to seamlessly share courses, content data, track trainees and other critical information about collective training efforts. The TRAIN learning management system will keep track of the training opportunities in Alaska and nationally, and will track the training participation andcontinuing education units or credits participants received for completing the training course. Eventually this system will link to core competencies for particular positions which will allow management to quickly see what training courses personnel need to maintain competency or certification. Piloting in this area will support the Division of Public Health's overall workforce initiatives.
