Employee Ethics Training

In conjunction with the Executive Ethics Commission and in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General, the OEIG oversees an employee ethics training program for approximately 160,000 employees, appointees and officials of State agencies under its jurisdiction including approximately 300 State boards and commissions, as well as the nine State public universities.

The courses offered under this program are intended to educate State employees and appointees regarding issues of ethics and integrity and specifically about laws and policies that govern their conduct while working for the State. Under the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, employees and appointees are required to complete such training on at least an annual basis. Additionally all new State employees, officials, and appointees are required to complete ethics training within 30 days of their initial employment/appointment.
