Public Sector HR Essentials

FOR HR PROFESSIONALS, designed for public sector HR professionals who want a comprehensive, up-to-date course or refresher on key HR practices.  This course covers all major areas of the public sector human resources operation including public sector HR basics, job classification and compensation, recruitment and selection, labor and employee relations, equal employment opportunity and diversity, and organizational development.

Offered in a flexible online asynchronous format to meet your demanding schedule, the Public Sector HR Essentials contains nine modules, which are facilitated by one of our experienced instructors and experts in public sector HR. This course is for you whether you are looking to sharpen your skills or prepare for the new CP certification.”

TIME COMMITMENT:  Course spans 10 short weeks. Plan for 1 hour for each weekly online lesson to read, complete activities, and prepare for cohort sessions. Individuals have varying learning paces, so it might take more or less time for each person. We recommend completing lessons a day or two before the cohort sessions to allow time for reflection on what you've learned and the development of your plans. 

COURSE PRICE:  Member-$750.00 and Non-Member-$1,000.00 - All course materials are included on your course dashboard (no textbook to buy) all at a new lower price.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email advising you how to log into the course. The course will open for review one day before the course start date. Course registration fees must be paid in full to access the course or your enrollment will be cancelled. 

Please be sure to review the PSHRA's Professional Development Course Cancellation Policy prior to enrollment.

*PSHRA-CP Certification, application, and exam, now requires a separate enrollment and no longer tied to this course.
