mandatory training

Must-attend learning sessions

Mandatory training is instruction that employees or members must complete, typically required by law, regulation, or organizational policy.

Common examples include workplace safety, harassment prevention, and compliance training.

The phrase often carries connotations of bureaucratic obligation rather than genuine learning: We have to sit through mandatory training again.
