Since inception HRU had more than 50,000 registered students from across the Federal government.[2] In April 2014 HRU received recognition for saving the Federal government over $100 million in cost savings in training costs.[3]

HRU provided formal classroom and online training and had a virtually continuous presence with the workforce through online continuous learning and knowledge sharing on HRU's Web site.

History
HRU was created as a result of critical necessity, identified in high-level studies by the Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) Council in 2009.[4] This governance organization wanted to provide a professional career path and consistency of training content and opportunities for the Federal Human Resources Workforce. In 2011 HRU was founded by the CHCO Council, OPM, and with the assistance of the Executive Human Resources Community Leadership across the Federal Government.[5][6] HRU was managed by a Provost who reports to the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. The founding Provost, who was also a co-creator of HRU, was Kathryn Medina and she served in this capacity from 2011 to 2012, overseeing the successful launch of HRU.[7] In its first two years, HRU had a huge impact on the government’s HR workforce, earning honors and recognition for the innovative platform that pooled government HR training together to reduce redundancy and waste.[1]
