This course prepares you for a career and professional certification in human resources (HR). It covers industry-recognized practices aligned with the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). As you progress, you will dive into essentials such as affirmative action and diversity considerations and come to understand important decisions that HR professionals often make regarding retention, recruiting, and hiring. Topics of performance appraisals, remote work, workplace communication, motivation, digital media, compensation and benefits, are covered, too. Upon finishing you will be prepared to sit for the HRCI's Professional Certification in Human Resources (PHR) exam, while also learning information useful for other human resources certification exams, including SHRM's Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) exam and the HRCI's Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHR) exam.

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
