Partnership will help accelerate Helios' Horizons apprenticeship program, designed to expand access to career opportunities in fast-growing HR tech industry

MINNEAPOLIS, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Helios today announced that it has been named a staffing partner by W o rkday , Inc ., a leading provider of solutions to help organizations manage their pe o ple and m o ney. A Workday Advisory Partner since 2018, the expanded partnership will allow Helios to focus on staffing and training talent on the Workday platform, and accelerate the growth of Helios' apprenticeship program, Horizons, which helps participants master both the technical skills and the business fundamentals to succeed in Workday technology roles.

The demand for professionals adept at using the Workday platform has accelerated in recent years. The number of open jobs requesting Workday skills was nearly the same as the total number of Workday-certified consultants in the country. Designed to address this growing need, the Horizons apprenticeship program provides recent college graduates with training and career opportunities at no cost – program participants become paid employees of Helios starting from day one of training, and upon completion, can access pathways to work with Helios' clients and other Workday partners.

"When we needed to close a critical talent shortage, Helios proved to be a uniquely capable partner, helping us access a new talent pool with the skills and experience to contribute right away," said Cassie Champagne, Senior Manager of HR Processes and Systems at Hagerty. "Their deep partnership with Workday is a testament to not only their expertise in the field, but also their track record of strengthening the entire HR tech ecosystem."

"Workday's rapid growth has created profound opportunities to address a growing need for talented professionals," said Helios President Trevor Lee. "We're humbled to expand our partnership with Workday and join a dedicated group of Workday partners to help address the growing demand for a skilled workforce, and create both greater financial stability and economic mobility for our growing apprentice community."
