HR Apprenticeship

KS SHRM's Human Resources Registered Apprenticeship Program (HR RAP)This program

This program is offered through the SHRM Foundation to help emerging HR professionals. While apprenticeship is a centuries old, tried-and-true way to learn a trade, it’s a relatively new way for business and management professionals to earn the credentials they need to launch their career.

If you are an employer or an organization who would like more information about KS SHRM’s HR RAP program or would like to begin the registration process, please connect with KS SHRM via email at apprenticeship@ksshrm.com to discuss how to get started.

Workforce Development Initiative

The Kansas State Council of SHRM has launched Kansas’s first Registered Apprenticeship program for HR professionals, combining on-the-job learning with formal education to address workforce shortages and build HR talent. Developed with local, state, and federal collaboration, the program aligns with Governor Laura Kelly’s efforts to expand apprenticeships and enhance workforce skills.

As the first state to partner with the SHRM Foundation on its HR Registered Apprenticeship Program, Kansas will use the "learn-while-you-earn" model to boost productivity, retention, and diversity in entry-level HR roles. Launching this fall, the program will partner with five local SHRM chapters across Kansas, including Johnson County, Salina, and Wichita.
