We Got Webinars

Thanks to technology, recruitment and HR professionals have amazing opportunities to learn and advance their careers. And best of all, many of these learning opportunities are free.

Talent management information outlets and membership organizations offering free webinars include recruitment resource RecruitingTrends.com, which holds live events and includes an archive of past webinars at its site.

The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global association for strategic talent management, also features webcasts (webinars, webcasts; potato, pahtato). These events cover a wide range of topics and are archived for convenient access.

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) offers free webcasts as well; however, membership is required.

Yet another terrific resource for webinars is ERE. These too are free (hey, that rhymes), and all events are archived.

It's easy and logical to focus on industry-specific events, but don't overlook webinars offered by colleges and universities that can help you manage the personal aspects of career. For example, yesterday Bryant & Stratton College hosted the free webinar, "How to Build Your Professional Brand," which included worthwhile tips for professionals at every level.
