This course introduces enterprise risk management (ERM) to organizations by providing a structured and comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, managing, and mitigating risks that can impact the achievement of an organization’s goals and objectives. Given the complexity of risks faced by higher education institutions, specialized ERM training is essential. This training equips staff and administrators with the skills to implement effective risk management strategies tailored to the education sector. ERM allows organizations to view risk holistically, considering all potential risks across different areas of the business. This approach helps organizations identify interdependencies between risks and make informed decisions that take into account the broader impact on the organization’s goals. Successful completion of the course will provide community leaders and first responders with the ability to conduct an annual risk assessment.
