City employees are required to complete various DSW related training throughout their City career. Specifically, all City employees are required to complete the Disaster Service Worker: Mandatory Loyalty Oath Training upon hire. After the initial completion, employees should also complete the DSW Refresher Course series on an annual basis. When the DSW Program is activated by the Mayor, those who are designated as DSWs during an emergency should also complete the Disaster Service Worker II: Serving Others training prior to going to their DSW assignment. All of these trainings can be accessed via the Cornerstone platform (lacity.csod.com).

The Personnel Department will work with department liaisons to try and assign any necessary training prior to your DSW deployment. DSWs can also login and register themselves for any training they need to complete. DSWs simply need to login to Cornerstone, select Browse for Training, and then select the "Disaster Service Worker" subject on the left. This will bring you to all DSW related training. Please do your best to complete the Mandatory Loyalty Oath and Serving Others courses prior to your DSW assignment. For any questions regarding the Cornerstone training, please contact pertraining@lacity.org.

Note: Employees with Library and LADWP are not in the City's Cornerstone platform. To access these trainings, please contact your Department's Training Coordinator here.
