About the Centers for Health, Work & Environment (CHWE) at the University of Colorado

The Centers for Health, Work & Environment (CHWE) at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is dedicated to improving worker well-being through research, education, and public health practice.

As one of the nation's leading centers focused on occupational health, CHWE develops evidence-based training programs designed to help professionals create healthier, safer workplaces.

Through continuing education and workforce development initiatives, they extend their expertise far beyond the university setting, supporting practitioners across industries and communities.

The Challenge

The problem wasn't the training. It was the experience around it.

CHWE offered invaluable educational programs. The challenge was making those programs easy to register for and easy to access.

As their catalog of occupational health trainings continued to grow, their existing learning platform struggled to keep pace.

Each piece worked. But together, the learner experience felt increasingly outdated. Finding courses wasn't always intuitive. Navigating the platform required additional support. Overall, the experience no longer reflected the quality of the education CHWE worked so hard to develop.

They didn't just need a place to host training.

They needed a better way to connect professionals with the education designed to support healthier workplaces.

Why LearningCart

The Search for a More User-Friendly Training Platform

Like many organizations in their position, CHWE was looking for more than a simple LMS. They wanted a platform that offered occupational professionals a unique experience. According to Carol Brown, Deputy Director at CHWE, their previous LMS no longer aligned with the organization's goals for learner accessibility and engagement.

"The previous LMS that we had wasn't keeping up with how we wanted our courses to be presented.”

The team wanted something more intuitive. They wanted a platform that would make it easier for professionals to find the training they needed without unnecessary barriers.

That's when they found LearningCart.

Supporting Ongoing Education and Credentialing

The organization also needed a reliable way to support continuing education requirements through certificates, certifications, and CEU tracking.

LearningCart provided the functionality needed to condense those processes while creating a more cohesive infrastructure.

Rather than relying on multiple systems, CHWE could manage training completion and credentialing within the same platform learners already used to register & access their courses.

The result was an experience that better supported both the professionals pursuing ongoing education and the administrators responsible for delivering it.

The ONBOARDING

A Platform New Team Members Could Quickly Adopt

When Kamrin Robinson joined CHWE as Education Coordinator, she inherited responsibility for managing the organization’s training platform.

Even without participating in the original implementation, she found LearningCart approachable.

"I think it's pretty straightforward and user-friendly on its own."- Kamrin Robinson

And when questions did arise, support was readily available.

"I've utilized the customer support that you all provide, and that's been really responsive and helpful.”- Kamrin Robinson

Within just a few months, Kamrin progressed from updating existing courses to building entirely new learning experiences.

The combination of accessible support and intuitive infrastructure reduced the learning curve for internal staff while ensuring continuity as team members transitioned into new roles.

The Results

Making Workforce Education Easier to Access

Before LearningCart, delivering education often meant helping learners navigate the system surrounding it.

Today, the experience is simpler. For CHWE, that means spending less time troubleshooting and more time advancing their mission.

Here’s how we helped them do just that:

A more professional and intuitive learning environment
Easier course discovery and navigation for learners
Fewer participant questions related to finding and accessing training
Saved administrative hours on certificate auto-generation features
A platform new team members can learn quickly
Responsive support when guidance is needed

The Future

How CHWE Operates Today

Today, CHWE continues to equip professionals with evidence-based education designed to improve worker well-being across industries and communities.

With LearningCart supporting the learner experience behind the scenes, the team can focus on developing high-quality training programs rather than managing the limitations of disconnected or outdated technology.

What changed wasn't the mission.

It was the ease with which they could deliver it.
