Approaches on Training


Have you ever wanted to learn a new software skill at your desk between meetings, or from home?  Have you ever wanted to learn at your own pace, with time to practice a skill or ponder its implications for your work?  

To supplement our existing instructor-led courses and better accommodate your individual learning styles, the Instructional Technology Support Services and Human Resources are excited to introduce a flexible, always available web-based training program, MySkillSource, to the John Jay campus.  

Available to John Jay faculty and staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this progressive way to train includes access to hundreds of online courses and digitized books in the areas of:

  • Office Productivity(Microsoft Applications, Lotus, Wordperfect, etc.)
  • Computer Professional(Networking, Programming, etc.)
  • Business & Management Skills(Fundamentals of Managing People, Setting Goals, etc.)
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or an expert, e-Training at John Jay has something for you.

If you could like information about obtaining a web-based training account, please visit our Getting Started page.  MySkillSource web-based training is currently only available to the faculty and staff at John Jay.
