BC HRMA's professional development program includes a distinct variety of learning opportunities for HR practitioners.

Core Programming

Regional professional development programming includes half-day and full-day workshops that enable HR practitioners to return to their workplaces and apply new strategies, tools, and skills for long-term impacts. Core programming is planned annually and targeted toward key learning needs identified with and for the region. Core programming includes hot topic sessions which respond to one-time, limited time, or topics of the moment. Workshops are targeted to specific levels of professional experience, supporting HR practitioners to progressively build their knowledge and skills in specific areas of practice.

These events are specifically designed to include topics and speakers that will contribute to the currency of your HR knowledge and provide you with innovative and tested methods for applying information within your organization.
