AZ HR Academy Testimonials

  • Testimonials:
    • From Adrean Hall, HR Generalist at Dept. of Veteran Services: 

      • “AZ HR Academy Level 3 has given me the opportunity to sharpen my professional human resources skills.  It has helped me in building a foundation for my career with the State of Arizona.  Through the Academy, I have expanded my HR network, gained a mentor that cared about my professional development and have been prepared for future roles.  The experience has given me the confidence and resources to achieve something that I used to believe was impossible.”

    • One of our HRA presenters has this to say:
      • "I love working with the AZ HR Academy and facilitating courses because I'm passionate about preparing people for success and helping them to continue their professional growth and development!  The classes I most enjoy are those in which participants are highly engaged. They are offering comments and asking great questions, which enhance the learning for all, including me.  It is so rewarding when I see someone learn something new or understand something they didn't know or fully understand before!  I'm also honored to be a mentor to a number of AZ HR Academy Level II graduates, and I love helping them to continue their learning.  This is a wonderful program, and I encourage all of our HR professionals to get involved!"
    • From Ryan Ruelas, HR Manager at Dept. of Gaming:
      • "The State of Arizona Human Resources Academy is a benefit to all HR practitioners.  Whether a novice or an expert, you will gain knowledge, insight, and experience into the State's Human Resources role.  Not only does the AZ HR Academy advance the State HR function, it will also contribute to your own personal growth.  It was a pleasure to learn and experience from HR subject matters experts.  I encourage anyone given this opportunity, to accept the challenge, and improve with this great program."
