About Training

The Talent Management Division, within the Office of State Human Resources, provides courses targeted to North Carolina public sector managers, supervisors, Human Resources professionals, and individuals who want to increase their knowledge and skills and become more productive and effective. Sessions cannot be offered to private citizens.

Available courses, along with descriptions and schedules, are accessible to State of North Carolina employees via the NC Learning Center.

The Talent Management staff is also available to design and deliver "in-house" workshops to meet an agency's specific business needs. In addition to training, the staff provides services such as facilitation, needs assessment, organizational development, and course design consultation/customization.

Who Can Participate

Training is intended for North Carolina public sector employees.

All agencies must designate someone to authorize training in advance. If you are unsure who this is, please check our Training Coordinator page to find the training coordinator for your agency. Please make sure your enrollment form is filled out completely. It is necessary for all participants to obtain their supervisor's approval and, in some cases, inform the agency or institution training coordinator before signing up for training.

Refund & Substitution Policy

You may cancel registration up to 10 (ten) business days prior to a course start date and receive a full refund. After that, cancellations result in NO REFUND. If you do not cancel and do not attend, you are still responsible for full payment. If you need to cancel less than 10 business days prior to the course start date, you may send a substitute if approved by the curriculum director.

Training Cancellations

On occasion, adverse weather or other reason requires a training session to be cancelled or postponed. Every attempt will be made to contact participants via email and/or telephone. If the session is postponed, you will be automatically placed on a waiting list and notified when new training dates are scheduled. In the event that we completely cancel a training session, you receive a full refund.  

Courses can also be offered at locations across the state when there are a sufficient number of participants.
