What to expect
HR Foundations is highly interactive, incorporating presentations and group discussions. You’ll also work with other early career HR professionals on case studies that help consolidate your learning by exploring good practice across a range of scenarios.
This course will turn your attention to your next steps and ongoing growth as an HR practitioner. You will use The Path and your course insights to inform your Professional Development Plan, which will support you beyond these three days of formal learning.
