National Public Health Workforce Development Infrastructure

For more than two decades, KMI Learning has powered the TRAIN Learning Network, the nation’s premier learning management system dedicated to public health workforce development. Managed by the Public Health Foundation, TRAIN serves federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local health agencies across all U.S. states and territories.

Today, the platform supports more than 6 million public health professionals and provides immediate access to over 5,000 active courses within a catalog of tens of thousands of learning activities.

This is not a typical LMS deployment. TRAIN operates as mission-critical national infrastructure.

Public health agencies require a centralized system capable of:

• Supporting millions of users across jurisdictions
• Managing complex continuing education workflows
• Tracking certifications across accrediting bodies
• Maintaining strict data segmentation by state and agency
• Scaling instantly during public health emergencies
• Operating with long-term financial and operational stability

The system must serve routine workforce development needs while remaining surge-ready for crisis response.

KMI Learning serves as the Strategic Platform Partner for TRAIN, delivering secure, cloud-hosted, enterprise-scale LMS infrastructure.

Key capabilities include:

• Multi-tenant national architecture supporting state and agency portals
• Role-based access controls and jurisdictional data segmentation
• Automated continuing education tracking and transcript management
• Enterprise reporting aligned with public health competency frameworks
• High-availability hosting with redundancy
• Ongoing platform enhancement and technical support

The architecture allows each state or agency to maintain local control while operating within a unified national framework.

TRAIN functions as a critical distribution channel during national public health emergencies.

When demand spikes, the platform must:

• Rapidly deploy time-sensitive compliance training
• Support significant increases in concurrent users
• Maintain performance and uptime under pressure
• Disseminate federal and state guidance in real time

KMI’s infrastructure is engineered specifically for this level of resilience.

Over 20+ years of continuous operation, the TRAIN engagement has represented approximately $27 million in cumulative platform investment, demonstrating long-term stability and sustained national trust.

Documented outcomes include:

• Tennessee Department of Health saved more than $350,000 in nurse orientation costs alone
• Significant reduction in travel expenses across participating agencies
• Standardized onboarding and compliance tracking across jurisdictions
• Centralized workforce analytics supporting accreditation and quality improvement efforts

The centralized LMS model has eliminated substantial administrative burden and decentralized training costs nationwide.

TRAIN demonstrates KMI Learning’s ability to deliver:

• Enterprise-scale infrastructure serving millions of users
• Multi-jurisdictional governance support
• Compliance management at national scale
• Surge-ready systems during emergencies
• Long-term, high-value public sector partnerships

This project reflects more than technology delivery. It represents sustained operational excellence within a complex, federally aligned public health ecosystem.
