BURLINGTON, VT (01/29/2010)(readMedia)-- Champlain College's Workforce Development Center is offering a series of informative online workshops aimed at helping human resource managers at small to mid-sized companies.

"Knowing that working professionals are constantly challenged by the demands of work and family, we are offering these workshops 100 percent online, facilitated by practicing HR experts," explained Melissa Hersh, director of Champlain's Workforce Development Center in the Division of Continuing Professional Studies.

"The workshops can be accessed from any computer with Internet access, 24/7, delivered via Champlain's Workforce Development Center "eSchool" hosted by Global Classroom, Inc. and provide the opportunity to gain essential human resource management skills at home or in the office with maximum flexibility," she added.

These workshops will be delivered in collaboration with HRSentry®, a web-based provider of federal and state employment laws, human resource forms, policies, procedures, posters and training, all updated daily by a team of HR professionals. Workshops begin in March and are offered on a rotating schedule every six to nine weeks based on demand.
