Work place training is near pointless

Today during my shift I caught up on some training that had either lapsed, or was about to lapse. Online training modules that are essentially scrolling through pages, watching videos, then taking a test. A test you can attempt multiple times until you get it right. Of the 4 modules I’ve done today none of them are directly about my job. Ethics, violence against women, inclusivity, cultural awareness. All important topics, sure, but the fact that I can ‘pass’ the course while multi screening, listening to a podcast and not even paying attention, shows how little they care about the topics themselves. They’re just getting boxes ticked, while my actual job builds up.
