The One Hour with HR series is a monthly program on relevant human resources topics, focusing on building stronger connections between members of our community. Our goal is to provide new opportunities each year for both employees and supervisors to engage, learn and grow. New sessions are added based on recommendations from previous attendees.
Whether you're attending in person or online, these sessions are part of our shared journey to create an environment where every team member can thrive. Purdue values lifelong learning, and we invite you to use these courses as an opportunity to deepen your knowledge.
Class registration is through SuccessFactors Learning; courses are announced in Purdue Today and Business@Purdue News. Reach out to oecomm@purdue.edu with training requests.
