Employee Ethics Training

In conjunction with the Executive Ethics Commission and in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General, the OEIG oversees an employee ethics training program for approximately 200,000 employees, appointees and officials of State agencies under its jurisdiction including boards, commissions, the State Public Universities and Illinois Community College Districts.

The courses offered under this program are intended to educate State employees and appointees regarding issues of ethics and integrity and specifically about laws and policies that govern their conduct while working for the State. Under the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, employees and appointees are required to complete such training on an annual basis. All new State employees and appointees are required to complete ethics training within 6 months of their initial employment/appointment.
