Do-it-Yourself Professional Development | |
Introducing PD in a Box™, the Do-it-Yourself professional development resource for human resources professionals.
Portable Professional Development
PD in a Box contains everything you need to provide insightful professional development wherever you want—just find a facilitator and a space and get ready to learn. Each module focuses on a core HR topic, and includes complete materials for 10 participants and one instructor, including: facilitator’s guide, PowerPoint presentation, participant handouts and workbooks, as well as evaluation forms, name cards and tests. For larger groups, additional participant packages are available in sets of 10. See below for a complete list of available topics.
Each module is designed to last two hours, but can be easily stretched to a half-day or full-day event with the inclusion of case studies and exercises.
This easy-to-use program is both thorough and affordable, and gives you the freedom of running your own show. You choose the date, location, facilitator and set your own program fees.

Choosing a Facilitator
To get the most out of your event, HRPA recommends choosing an experienced subject matter expert to present your PD in a Box session.
Facilitators find the materials straightforward and enjoyable to present. For maximum impact, facilitators can draw from their own professional experience to reinforce learning objectives.

Testimonial
“The Brockville & District Chapter was fortunate to have one of our own members, an HR Manager with many years of experience, deliver the PD in a Box session on Succession Planning. Using her own work experience and research combined with the user-friendly tools provided in the PD in a Box kit, the Brockville & District Chapter members were able to benefit from a rich professional development experience.”
