The School of Education’s Administrative Transformation Program (ATP) Readiness Team will use this page to share news, highlight resources, relay training opportunities, and communicate SoE-specific information in preparation for UW’s implementation of Workday.
Workday is the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system all Universities of Wisconsin universities will use to standardize and streamline finance, human resources, and research administration processes, including accounting, managing time off, completing payroll, and closing out research awards.
Workday will go-live July 2025!
