The State of Illinois created a Sexual Harassment Prevention Training course for non-licensed workers in the state. Every employer in the State of Illinois is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training that complies with section 2-109 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (“IHRA”). All employees regardless of their status (i.e. short-term, part-time, or intern) must be trained. If an employer has an independent contractor working on-site with the employer’s staff, the independent contractor should receive sexual harassment prevention training.

This interactive, scenario-based course discusses the laws that prohibit harassment in the workplace and protect our rights as individuals. It also covers topics related to fairness, civility, and respect. In addition to knowing your own rights, it is your responsibility to follow your employer’s policies and do your part in keeping your workplace free from unlawful conduct like discrimination and harassment.
