TRIS Team

 

The Training Records Information System (TRIS) Team is part of the University Training Consortium Project based at Eastern Kentucky University. The team provides products, support, and programming to assist in providing quality training for Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) employees; resource parents, contracting officials, and community partners to better serve the families and children of the Commonwealth. The team has multiple responsibilities and is structured around three basic "functional" areas.

Jana Godsey, Assistant Director, is the supervisor of the TRIS Team.


(1). CHFS Training Records System

Jennifer Newman processes registrations submitted through the Online Registration System (ORS).

 

The TRIS system is a computerized database of all DCBS staff training records and training activities conducted by the Cabinet's Training Branch. Team members work closely with Regional Training Coordinators and Assistants, University Training Consortium staff, and the Training Branch trainers and staff.

 

Team members who work with this system are responsible for posting training information on the Online Registration System (ORS), processing training registration and participant lodging requests, capturing training records, and capturing evaluation data for scheduled training events.


Susan Barber is proofing training evaluation results before forwarding them to the trainers and site contacts.

Melissa Davis generates a customized report for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

The TRIS system provides comprehensive data for customized and special reports for the Cabinet. The system provides aggregate data on training hours, training participants, and budgetary information in relation to training events, training needs assessment, prerequisite notification, staff demographics, and other related information.

(2). Resource Parent Training Records

Kristi Carlisle speaks to an R&C worker about a resource parent's training record.

The FAP-TRIS system is a computerized database of all resource parent training records and training activities conducted by the Cabinet's Training Branch as well as the Cabinet's Recruitment and Certification (R&C) regional offices. Resource parents include foster, adoptive, and adoption subsidy homes. Team members work closely with R&C supervisors, R&C workers, University of Kentucky Training Consortium, Murray State University Training Consortium, and resource parent associations.
Team members who work with this system are responsible for capturing and maintaining information on resource parents from initial point of contact through approval, capture training attendance for resource parents, and compile closure survey for foster parents. Team members often provide training and support to R&C supervisors and R&C workers on FAP-TRIS topics.

Donna Turner provides training on the FAP-TRIS system.

Bob Wine, Programmer/Analyst, generates a customized report on resource parent attendance at training events.

 

The FAP-TRIS system provides comprehensive data for customized and management reports for the Cabinet. The system provides aggregate data on training hours, training participants, training requirements, tracking of resource parent approval, and other related information.


(3). Programming Services

TRIS and FAP-TRIS are customized training tracking systems that require programming services. Team members working in this area include three full-time Programmer/Analysts.

Josh Reynolds provides programming for many of the TRIS and FAP-TRIS online applications.

 

Michael Wooten writes a program to give automatic training credit for online courses.
