Deloitte and HRCI Launch New Academy for Upskilling Human Resources Teams

NEW YORK, May 21, 2025 — Deloitte today announced the launch of its HR Academy in collaboration with HRCI, the premier credentialing and learning community for the human resource profession. This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive learning solutions to Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) and their teams, ensuring they remain at the forefront of HR practices and professional certification. The HR Academy is an integral part of Deloitte Academies, a suite of immersive learning experiences designed to enhance leadership capabilities and workforce skills.

"As the pace of change in the workplace accelerates, it is crucial for HR professionals to stay ahead of the skills needed to support their organizations," said Kyle Forrest, Future of HR leader and principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. "Our HR Academy, in conjunction with HRCI, provides the tools and resources for teams to achieve their professional certification and meet the evolving demands of the business.”

The HR Academy offers a unique blend of HRCI and Deloitte learning, designed to equip professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their roles. CHROs can retain the academy to train their entire HR teams, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development.

Key features of the HR Academy:

• Comprehensive Programs: The HR Academy provides a wide range of learning programs, including technical skill-building and leadership development.
• Tailored Experiences: The academy offers customized learning experiences for different HR roles, from entry-level professionals to senior executives.
• Certification Support: The collaboration with HRCI ensures that participants receive the necessary support to achieve professional certification and advance their careers.

  "The collaboration with Deloitte underscores our shared commitment to providing world-class training and certification programs that empower HR professionals to excel in their careers and drive positive business outcomes,” said Amy Dufrane, chief executive officer, HRCI.

The launch of the HR Academy comes at a time, as highlighted in Deloitte's “Global Human Capital Trends” report, that underscores the urgent need for organizations to upskill their HR teams. As work becomes more dynamic and technology-driven, HR should evolve into a boundaryless discipline to help ensure organizations can effectively manage their human capital and drive sustainable growth.
