The mission of HR Development (HRD) is to deliver high-quality service in content, instruction, technology and operational support to employee learners (full-time, part-time and temporary employees). Our vision is to connect Auburn people with their future by providing talent development experiences to support their growth.
HRD courses are designed with working adults in mind. These classes can help you:
Gain tools to do your job better,
Build your resume, and
Grow personally and professionally.
For the summer semester, HRD courses will be offered virtually. Access the Zoom link for your course from one of four areas:

Selecting your course from the training calendar in Fast-Train
If the Zoom link is not available in any of these four areas, you will receive it from your course facilitator prior to class.
