The HR Academy

The HR Academy is designed as a positive learning experience that gives you the tools you need to succeed in your human resource role.

Welcome to the
Colorado HR Academy

The Colorado HR Academy strives to provide statewide agency human resource teams what they need most to continue to be effective and thrive.  

Notice! HR Academy classes are currently on pause as we revamp the program and transition courses into the new State of Colorado Learning Experience Platform (LXP). We're making exciting updates, including integrating state-specific HR knowledge, enhancing accessibility, and creating a smoother, more enjoyable learning experience. Be sure to check back often for updates or subscribe to the LDC newsletter for the latest news!

What is HR Academy?

HR Academy is a statewide HR training initiative through DPA, an effort aimed at improving the effectiveness, efficiency, readiness, and overall experience of HR professionals across the State of Colorado. 


HR Academy will serve as an HR training hub for HR professionals and HR apprentices for State of Colorado Employees. It’s not intended to replace existing agency HR training but to supplement it by providing foundational State HR education. The HR Academy program seeks to connect current HR training resources already offered through DPA and fill widespread HR training knowledge gaps when training is not already available elsewhere.

Gain Early Access to Content!

HR Academy is looking for State supervisors and HR professionals to beta test future HR courses. Beta testers will gain early access to new HR Academy content before it is released for general state employee enrollment in exchange for feedback after the course. If you’re interested in being a beta tester, fill out the form below:

Beta testers must be classified State HR professionals. Only HR professionals from State entities under the governor’s purview will be considered.
