Case Study: Denver Public Library achieves 700% more training opportunities and 435% higher attendance with Cornerstone OnDemand

Putting Learning Front & Center for Employees

Denver Public Library, founded in 1889 and serving nearly 4 million visitors a year, has long prioritized employee learning but struggled to scale with a training team of two. Training was mostly face-to-face, tracked in an inadequate Access database, and managed with costly paper calendars and 2,500 manual registrations—making it hard to get a comprehensive view of learning across the organization.

DPL selected Cornerstone Learning for its flexibility, launched a creative, multi-channel rollout for all staff, and branded the system myTRACKS. The result: a 700% increase in training opportunities and a 435% jump in attendance, stronger engagement from millennial employees, and real-time reporting that lets managers assign courses and track completions—putting ongoing learning front and center.
