SAFETY & EMPOWERMENT TRAINING

Safety and Empowerment for Experiential Learning: Appropriate Behavior and Professional Boundaries

​

This interactive training module was designed for college-age students engaged in experiential learning, such as internships and community-based learning, and equips them with knowledge of their workplace rights and protections. Developed in 2022-2023 with support from the Universities of Wisconsin, this training module was first implemented in Fall 2023. Since Spring 2025, the module is currently in 37 academic courses at UW-Parkside and at four other UW campuses, including UW-Madison. As of Summer 2025, more than 1,000 UW students have completed the training. 

​

The training serves as an important risk management resource to ensure participants understand workplace expectations and protections. The program’s accessibility features support an effective training experience for a wide range of learners, including those with disabilities.
