Employer training begins soon, and we're looking forward to seeing you

 To help you get the most from your hands-on training session, please review the attached Employer Training Readiness Checklist and complete each item before your scheduled training session.

Completing these steps in advance will help ensure you're ready to participate in the hands-on activities and avoid delays during class. 

Employer Portal Access

If you are registered for an upcoming in-person training session, your Employer Portal account has been established and is ready for use.

Your email address serves as your Employer Portal username. Before attending training, please complete your PingID authentication using the attached OP&F Quick Reference PingID (mobile) and First-Time Login.

 After completing the authentication process, verify that you can successfully access the Employer Portal and see the home page below.

 If you experience issues with PingID enrollment, authentication, or access to the Employer Portal, please contact the Client Technology Center at 1-800-861-8700 for assistance before your scheduled training session. Addressing access issues in advance will help ensure you are able to fully participate in the hands-on training activities.

If your organization requires administrative approval to install the PingID desktop application, or if you experience firewall or permission restrictions, please work with your local IT department before your training session.  You can find the PingID Quick Reference Guide for desktop on the Employer Knowledge Hub.

Please note, if you are registered to attend the virtual training session, readiness guidance will be provided in September.
