HR Business Partner: Program Description

Live virtual class sessions will be conducted at the day/time indicated in the program schedule. Attendance at all class sessions is required.

The Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) Certificate Program provides a continuous and consistent progression for developing advanced tactical and strategic skills necessary for today's HR practitioner looking to advance to a true business partner to leadership, management and staff within a business enterprise.

The overall learning outcomes and objectives are to advance student knowledge and develop skills based upon that knowledge to operate as a full business partner.
