Operation Tiger Cloud Ambassador Network

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Workday Ambassador! We're excited to connect the RIT community with the Workday project. As an Ambassador, you'll play a key role in our success by serving as a go-to resource within your department and helping to share feedback, ideas, and training needs with the project team.

Just 2–3 hours per month can make a big impact! Each month, you’ll attend a 1-hour meeting, share updates and gather feedback from your colleagues, and help us tailor Workday to meet your team’s needs. As we approach rollout, you’ll also have opportunities to support additional engagement and training efforts.

We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 2pm ET. For more information or if you'd like to join, please register here or contact us at tigercloud@rit.edu. We'll meet via Zoom and make sure the call is recorded and interpreted.

Train-the-Trainer

As RIT prepares to launch Workday, we’re looking for passionate, knowledgeable individuals from across the university to help lead the charge. Our Train-the-Trainer (TTT) program is your opportunity to play a key role in this exciting transformation by becoming a trusted resource and delivering live training to your colleagues. 

Our Train-the-Trainer program equips selected volunteers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to deliver Workday training within their areas. Trainers will work closely with the project team and fellow trainers to ensure a smooth and consistent learning experience across the university. 

What’s Involved 

  • TTT Week: Multi-modal training in late October/early November 

  • Practice & Teach-Backs: Guided sessions over the following two weeks 

  • Live Training Delivery: Departmental sessions between mid-November and mid-January

     

Who Are We Looking For 

  • Strong presenters and communicators 

  • Recognized as “go-to” resources in their departments 

  • Comfortable with public speaking and peer engagement 

  • Excited to support their colleagues through change 

FAQs 

  • Do I need to train on all modules? 
  • No. Trainers will specialize in functional areas relevant to their departments. 
  • Will I be supported? 
  • Yes! You’ll receive materials, guidance, and logistical support from the Operation Tiger Cloud team. 
  • Is this training mandatory for all employees? 
  • No. Live training is one of several options available. 

How to Get Involved 

If you’re interested in volunteering, or if you’re a manager who knows someone who would be a great fit, please speak with your manager before committing. To express interest or learn more, contact tigercloud@rit.edu by Friday, Oct. 3, 2025.
