Training Managed by Western Human Resources
Project Status: In Progress
Western is moving all safety training and professional learning managed by Western Human Resources (HR) from OWL Sakai to OWL Brightspace — Western’s modern, accessible, mobile-friendly learning platform.
The transition will take place Monday, March 23, 2026. As we approach launch, employees and leaders will receive additional communications, step-by-step guides, and resource materials.
Training managed by Western Human Resources will no longer be available in OWL Sakai starting Friday, March 20, 2026. Employees will be able to access training in OWL Brightspace beginning Monday, March 23, 2026.
Please note, project sites for training that are led by individual departments or units must identify their sites through the project site claim process in advance of April 30, 2026 if they believe they are eligible for migration to OWL Brightspace. If they are not eligible for migration to OWL Brightspace, they must be transitioned off OWL Sakai by April 30, 2026, when access will be removed to OWL Sakai for the Western community.
