AI and Analytics Education for HR Leaders

Practical, SHRM-accredited courses that teach you to use AI tools, build data models, and tell executive-level stories with your people data — built by a practitioner, not a professor.

Built for People Who Build the Workforce

HR Leaders & HRBPs
You’re asked to be strategic but never given the tools. Learn to build capacity models, analyze workforce data, and present it in the language your CFO speaks.

TA & Recruiting Leaders
From AI-assisted sourcing to automated pipeline reporting — learn the tools and workflows that are replacing manual recruiting grunt work.
