Setting the Stage for WWP Phase 2 Video Series
Setting the Stage for WWP is a series of multiple videos introducing most of the functions moving from CARES to WWP at the end of June. Each video is approximately five minutes long, with a sneak peek at the new functionality and how WWP better supports these functions to meet policy and case management practices. The videos cover:

• Employability Plans
• Participation Tracking
• Participation Statuses

These videos are a required pre-requisite for anyone attending the W-2 WWP Processes: Phase 2 online training in April – June. We recommend that you watch these videos within the two weeks prior to class.

Preparing for WWP Phase 2 Training
W-2 WWP Phase 2 training is for FEPs, FEP Supervisors, QA staff, and Resource Specialists who enter or edit EPs and non-participation. Virtual classes started in April and include a hands-on component.

Ensure you are ready for training by using this checklist:

• You have logged into the WWP training environment within the last 6 months - https://wwptrn.wisconsin.gov/login.
• Your W-2 security role in the WWP training environment matches your role in production. If it does not, talk to your ATL. (Note: All workers are listed under Workforce Resource as their agency in training.)
• Your security role in the CWW training environment matches your role in production. If not, talk to your ATL.
• You have the Zoom app available on your computer.
• You have access to audio and a mic through your computer. If you do not, you will be able to call in by phone. We recommend using a headset for audio, regardless of how you access the course.
• You have a way to see what trainers are doing and make entries along with them (two computers, dual monitors, split screen, etc.).
• You’re able to access a printed copy of the Participant Guide.
• You watch the Setting the Stage for WWP Phase 2 video series prior to attending class.

Remember, this training is online, and trainers will not be able to log into the system for you. Preparing now for training ensures you will be able to participate fully when the classes take place.

Updated WWP Security Roles Desk Aid
Wondering how the various W-2 security roles in WWP can interact with the new functionality? We updated the WWP Security Roles desk aid to include EPs, participation tracking, etc., and the new secondary approver roles for POP claims and Aux payments. Knowing what each security role can access in WWP will help your agency plan ahead for when WWP Phase 2 goes live.

Check out the desk aid in the Learning Center.

Your training history displays any upcoming classes you are registered for and displays the last 3 years of your training history. To view your entire training history, select Entire Training Transcript in the upper right portion of the screen.

Review any items in your training history that still have a registration status of “Started/In-Progress." These courses contain a required component that is not finished, so you are not getting credit for completing the course.
