We found that many small businesses do have HR professionals on staff who need additional training and this program has met their needs from a logistics and affordability standpoint. We have also increased our marketing efforts with a postcard specific to this program that goes out a month before the program begins.
The objective of our program is to develop HR leaders who are both experts in the field, and this can be general or in a particular area of HR such as training, recruitment, performance management, but also to be strategic thinkers who are comfortable dealing with and being a decision maker. The strategic element is a common thread throughout, and there is enough flexibility for our students to take a deep dive into a particular area as well. We are looking to develop HR leaders who are both expert in people management and have strong business acumen.
