Mandatory employee training
New employees are required to take several trainings through the WSDOT Learning Center.
It can up to two weeks after your start date to gain access to The Learning Center and be registered for Mandatory Trainings (PDF 188KB). All mandatory trainings are assigned to you and can be accessed online in the Learning Center once your account has been activated. These trainings are due within 30-60 days of assignment.
If you cannot access the system after this timeframe, or if you have any questions regarding any of these courses, please contact workforcedevelopment@wsdot.wa.gov with your Employee ID number and start date.
Slow down on ice and snow.
It's easier to skid or lose control traveling at higher speeds. Give yourself more time to stop.
Carry chains, practice installing them.
Winter conditions could mean chains are required on your route. Practice putting them on your vehicle ahead of time.
Pack your winter car kit.
Carry extra supplies like warm clothing, ice scraper and brush, jumper cables and other emergency items.
