Professional Development

The TRA proactively serves its membership by planning and hosting industry specific educational initiatives where information and professional skills relative to the staffing and recruiting industry are shared by subject matter experts. In addition to lunch meetings held approximately every six to eight weeks, occasional informal gatherings are hosted which create professionally cooperative environments and forums for open discussion and further development of best practices within the industry.

Once a year, the TRA will also host an annual training conference, bringing to Nashville a nationally recognized elite performer and presenter in the industry. This level of training and skill development would be otherwise cost prohibitive to the individual staffing or executive search professional.

As a nationally recognized affiliate of NAPS, The National Association of Personnel Services, the TRA coordinates the preparation classes and qualifying exams to achieve professional certification, as well as conducts continuing education events for maintaining  professional certification of the following designations:

Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC)

Certified Temporary-Staffing Specialist (CTS)

Certified Employee Retention Specialist (CERS)

NAPS Accredited Firm Credential (NAF)

Physician Recruiting Consultant (PRC)
