Utah requires sexual harassment training for state employees but does not extend that requirement to private employers. The Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division handles employment discrimination claims under state law, and the absence of a training mandate does not reduce an employer's exposure to those claims. It simply means the decision to train, and the ability to prove you did, sits entirely with the employer.
