Staff Training

The presentations and overview below will help you get started on how to use ctcLink.

Canvas Training Overview

Staff will use the Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial Self-Services applications on the ctcLink Gateway screen for the following personnel tasks:

  • Update personal information
  • Confirm salary schedule
  • Review benefits.
  • Change tax status
  • Create time sheets
  • Enter leave and absence requests
  • Submit expense reports

As a staff member, the first step is to learn what to expect from the new system. Completing the ctcLink Canvas trainings will provide foundational knowledge, so you will access ctcLink for the first time with confidence. 

The Canvas courses are high-level, self-paced, introductory courses designed to give you an overview of the new system. Browse available courses below and select the ones best suited to your role. 

You can self-register through the SBCTC’s registration site after you decide which courses are right for you. Need help? Ask your manager for guidance.

Canvas Courses for All Employees or Managers

All Employees – If you don’t work with student or employee data or financial information, you will still want to complete the training on employee self-service, as our current time and leave reporting system is integrated with ctcLink.

Register for the above courses.

  1. Complete the training registration form by first selecting your college and then verifying your existing Canvas account tied to your email address. District Office staff should try selecting Seattle Central College.
  2. Select the specific courses in which you want to enroll. Note: courses for employees vary by employee type and function. Refer to the courses listed above.
  3. When you next login to Canvas, the training courses you selected will be available under your course list.

Important Notes:
