Enterprise Learning Management (ELM)

Enterprise Learning Management (ELM), formerly STARS, is an online tool for planning, scheduling, delivering, tracking, and reporting on learning activities such as training, eLearning, on-the-job training, independent assignments, testing, and survey results. Some employees have used the system for enrollment in the state-sponsored Retirement Planning Seminars or the System Office-sponsored Investigator or Decision-maker courses. Access ELM through the State of MN Self Service website

ELM is a built-in feature of the State’s SWIFT system for comprehensive tracking and reporting of state employee training. Minnesota State, and other state agencies are moving to ELM to comply with federal and state reporting/tracking guidelines for all employees.

Employees (and the employees’ manager) will register for courses and have access to their individual training record through the State’s self service site.
