Continuing Education and Professional Development
Continuing education for the Human Resource Management profession is not just a recommended pursuit; it's the professional's lifeline. With the growing number of Federal and State laws and regulations, not to mention case findings as these laws are applied and interpreted by the courts, training and development opportunities offer the primary source of protection through knowledge.
EPSHRM will post HR-related Professional Training and Development opportunities here. For more information or to post, please feel free to contact the 2012 VP of Programs, Pat Freddi, at pfreddi@classicind.com.
