The State of Delaware’s Human Resource Certificate program is designed to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities of HR practitioners and other State of Delaware employees who aspire to HR positions within the State system. The program encourages Human Resource professionals to take on new roles that stress the importance of organizational vision, customer-focused practices, managerial flexibility and worker empowerment, while remaining true to the more traditional responsibilities associated with attracting, retaining, motivating, and compensating employees.

The Human Resource Certificate program builds on five core competencies necessary for developing effective Human Resource professionals.
