Emerging HR Leaders Forum
Emerging HR Leaders Forum
The federal HR workforce plays a critical role in bringing the most talented people into government and ensuring they have what they need to succeed. Agencies must invest in the next generation of HR employees to secure the strength of their workforce.
The Emerging HR Leaders program is a professional development opportunity for HR employees early in their government careers. Participants develop the foundational knowledge and the professional network necessary to navigate their HR careers and maximize their impact in government.
Throughout this six-month program, participants engage in professional development activities and learn from subject matter experts. The sessions emphasize conversation and application to ensure participants understand concepts fully and are capable of using the skills and knowledge they acquire.
After graduation, emerging HR leaders build on the connections they developed by joining the Partnership’s Leadership Alumni Network. Multiple cohorts of the program graduate each year, providing them with an ever-growing network of government HR professionals to engage with and learn from.
