Getting Talent Back to Work Certificate Program

The SHRM Foundation Getting Talent Back to Work certificate program–developed for HR professionals, hiring managers, and front-line supervisors–is a multi-faceted program from the SHRM Foundation and brought to you with generous support from the Lumina Foundation. This program is specifically designed to equip you with the actionable knowledge and tools needed to attract, hire, and retain individuals with criminal and conviction records.

The SHRM Foundation Getting Talent Back to Work certificate program is completely free and open to all. You do not need to be a SHRM member, and you do not need to hold a SHRM credential to engage with the content, take the course, and earn the Getting Talent Back to Work certificate.

Through completing the Getting Talent Back to Work certificate program, you will be empowered to:

1. Create organizational strategies and processes to recruit, hire, retain, and advance people with criminal and/or conviction records.

2. Contribute to the growth of those re-entering the workforce after incarceration in your organization by fostering an inclusive environment.

3. Remove or work around barriers that limit the success potential of individuals with conviction histories.

4. Educate your stakeholders to break down barriers and reduce bias about individuals with criminal and/or conviction records.

5. Use your position as an HR practitioner to lead positive social change impacting all things work.
6. Earn 10 professional development credits toward your SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP certification.
