WEBINARS

Attend the PHRC's free webinar series held 1:00 - 2:00 PM on the Second Tuesday of each month!

NEW! Print a certificate of attendance to receive one credit hour of continuing education for UCC certifications! (see below)

Webinars will give us the ability to interact in an educational setting with significantly larger numbers of participants representing diverse professions and trades, but who share common interests and concerns.

In the age of high-priced gasoline, and increasingly hectic schedules, webinars provide you an opportunity to learn about a very focused topic in a one hour time period without leaving your office or wherever you may be that has internet connection capabilities. The PHRC has been offering a monthly webinar series since 2008. These programs are not designed to replace the classroom training, professional workshops or annual conference for which the PHRC has become so well known.
