Our History


First coined the Federal HR Capability Program in 2016, the FHRI curriculum was designed to improve capability in all functional HR domains from early entry into the 200-job series through GS-15.  The curriculum was informed by the career path and competency specifications from OPM’s Merit System Accountability and Compliance (MSAC) and Employee Services (ES) to be the only comprehensive program of its kind for Federal HR practitioners.
