The Human Capital Leaders in Education Certification Program
The Human Capital Leaders in Education (HCLE) standards define the necessary competencies for leaders in PK-12 education and related organizations to effectively manage human capital processes. Developed collaboratively by the American Association of School Personnel Administrators (AASPA), Experience Management Institute (EXMI), and PK-12 human capital leaders, these standards encompass knowledge domains and skills essential for enhancing talent practices within education. The HCLE certification includes the Professional Human Capital Leader in Education (pHCLE) and Executive Human Capital Leader in Education (eHCLE) programs, both aligned with the standards. The pHCLE program focuses on core human capital operations at departmental, team, or individual levels. It offers self-paced online learning and virtual class meetings for certification preparation. The eHCLE program, designed for experienced human capital leaders, emphasizes system-level management. It involves a ten-month cohort model with peer and expert support.
