IMO we should replace general corporate trainings (those HR ones, e.g. anti-harassment) with centralized ones, so that we don't have to take it again and again. Those are the most boring, most time consuming things for the first 1-2 week of any new job. The only purpose is for the company to click some checkboxes.

My employer has us do most of the corporate training annually anyways, so in our case I don't think centralizing would be of much benefit. (There are tweaks, this year mentioning AI a bunch, but for the most part each is exactly the same interactive video thing every year.)

Fortunately they have an accessible mode which turns off all the video and audio so I just click through that, wait the prescribed amount of time while I do something else, and then take the test.

Would be great to have a mode: "Skip a video I already knew everything" :-)

My company kinda does this - it gives you an assessment first. If you pass the test, you can skip the training. I have only seen this the last couple years, but I hope more companies head this direction.
