State Support Introduces New On-Demand CLE Portal
Legal Services State Support is pleased to introduce an enhanced way to earn continuing legal education credit (CLE) using its new online training portal. TalentLMS is now the home for State Support trainings approved for on-demand CLE. TalentLMS is an online learning platform designed to provide users with intuitive and sequential navigation that tracks completed training and earned credit in a searchable catalog arranged by topic. There are currently 32 on-demand trainings available with more being added regularly. Users can create a free account to track their training or start right away by clicking on a course if no CLE credit is needed. The portal guides users with easy step-by-step instructions for watching a recorded training and accessing training materials, presenter bios, and the CLE code and documentation upon completion.
Chelsea Stanton, State Support’s program support specialist, led the project to relocate and redesign the on-demand training library. “TalentLMS is built for organizing and presenting a library of courses. We hope the resulting user experience is better, and in the future, we hope to include courses that are past their 24-month on-demand credit period but are still useful for new legal aid staff,” Stanton said.
A link to the new on-demand portal can be found on State Support’s website training page and if you’re already using TalentLMS for onboarding and training at your own legal services program, you can use the same login to access the on-demand portal.
Recent on-demand trainings include “An Introduction to Pro Bono Administrative Law Cases at Volunteer Lawyers Network” and “Cultivating Resilience with Mike Millios” (a featured presenter at the upcoming Statewide Intake Mini-Conference). A deeper dive into the library includes “Impact of Cisgenderism on the Mental Health of Trans, Non-Binary & Gender Expansive Communities” and “Special Education Basics,” two trainings that, although no longer available for CLE credit, continue to provide insightful discussion and relevance to our lives and the lives of our clients.
