The Personnel Administrator Certification (PAC) Program is a comprehensive series of training modules addressing the HR competencies necessary for the VCU Personnel Administrator (PA) to successfully perform his/her job as HR liaison. Competency areas include Hiring and Benefits, Compensation and Performance Management, Systems and Processes, Employee Relations, and Training and Development.
The program provides basic information required to obtain and maintain Banner HR security access. It also provides an opportunity for technical, compliance, policy, and general skills enhancement. Other sessions, which include a mixture of required and elective courses, support continued professional development and offer the PA an opportunity to earn Personnel Administrator Certification (PAC). Training and Development staff partner with HR content experts to design and facilitate these programs.
