HR Certification Institute and Human Capital Institute Team Up to Advance and Enhance the HR Profession Through Education and Certification
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) November 03, 2016 -- HR Certification Institute® (HRCI®), the premier credentialing organization for the human resources profession, and Human Capital Institute (HCI), the global association for strategic management, today announced an agreement to offer HRCI-certified professionals easy and discounted access to HCI’s HR and talent management content and offer HCI members discounted opportunities to advance their careers and HR functions through HRCI certification.
“HCI is a thought leader in the human capital space and shares our vision to elevate the HR profession through education and certification,” said HRCI CEO Amy Schabacker Dufrane, Ed.D., SPHR, CAE. “Offering HCI’s quality content in a format designed specifically for HRCI-certified professionals will be a valuable resource for our certificants, and we are likewise looking forward to introducing HRCI’s portfolio of world-class certifications to HCI members.”
Through the agreement, HRCI certificants will have exclusive access to a dedicated, user-friendly portal created by HCI. The portal provides an easy and efficient conduit for HRCI credential holders to access HCI’s extensive online, virtual and live conferences and classes, including over 400 pre-approved HRCI recertification credits. HRCI certificants can enter the portal directly from the HRCI website, where they will enjoy special pricing on all HRCI pre-approved conferences and classes.
The portal’s content is organized based on HRCI’s exam content categories – Business Management and Strategy, Workforce Planning and Employment, Human Resource Development, Compensation and Benefits, Employee and Labor Relations, and Risk Management – making it convenient for recertification as well as professional development.
"As a leading provider of education and development for HR and talent management professionals around the world, HCI has always valued our connection with the HR Certification Institute," said Carl Rhodes, CEO of HCI. "By bringing HRCI’s highly regarded certifications to the attention of HCI members, we hope they will take advantage of this special opportunity to experience first hand the value and ROI of professional certification.”
Through the agreement, HCI members can apply to earn any of HRCI’s seven professional certifications at a discount.
