HR University Begins in Two Weeks - Don't Miss Your Chance to Attend on the West Side!

Generalist Track Approved for 36.5 PHR/SPHR Recertification Credit Hours
Both the Generalist and Advanced Tracks have been approved for recertification credit hours toward PHR and SPHR recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). Generalist Track Series participants will receive 36.5 credit hours and Advanced Track Series participants will receive 27.25 credit hours. For more information about certification or recertification, please visit the HRCI homepage at www.hrci.org.
Now entering its sixth year, HR University is a comprehensive professional development program for human resources practitioners at all levels. The two-tiered program offers exposure to a variety of core competencies and skill enhancements for generalists, PHR/SPHR-certified practitioners and executive-level participants. Each individual session is intended to provide an overview of the subject matter and to create awareness of the practical issues involved in the various aspects of HR management. Emphasis is placed on everyday application of the learning concepts and providing participants with resources for follow-up assistance.
Generalist Track
Beginning in February is the Generalist Track, designed for practitioners working in a generalist capacity whose primary job responsibility is the human resource function. The Generalist Track is ideal for those who are new to the human resources field and are interested in increasing their knowledge and skill sets. These programs provide a valuable "refresher" for those who are more experienced, but have received limited formal training, or someone looking for an update within a specific topic area.

Individual session fees for members are $120 for half-day sessions and $170 for full-day sessions. Non-member fees for individual sessions are $150 for half-day and $200 for full-day sessions. Professionals in transition are invited to call for preferred rates. Organizations are welcome to split a series registration among different participants from their organization.
Advanced Track
Beginning in April is the Advanced Track, targeted toward experienced practitioners who have received previous formal training in human resources and have been working in the industry for a number of years. Topics covered in the Advanced Track are designed to provide an overview of issues that go beyond the core everyday practices of HR, but are nonetheless key to the success of any advanced HR function. Emphasis will be placed throughout the series on the bottom-line, financial impact of HR's role within the organization. In order to establish a general awareness of financial principles, the series begins with a course in finance for HR professionals.

Organizations purchasing two (2) or more complete series registrations at the same time can take 10% off each series fee. In order to receive the discounted series fee, participants must register for all five sessions prior to the first session.
All HR University sessions are held at Signature at LaCentre in Westlake. The facility is conveniently located at 25777 Detroit Road, just off I-90 at the Columbia Road exit. Continental breakfast will be provided at all programs and lunch will be served during full-day sessions.
