Graduate School USA Unveils Innovative HR Solutions for Federal Workforce Transformation

Graduate School USA Launches Groundbreaking HR Initiative

On March 4, 2025, Graduate School USA (GSUSA) announced the launch of a new online community resource aimed at enhancing support for Federal Human Resource (HR) professionals. This initiative comes at a pivotal moment as the federal workforce undergoes drastic transformations driven by recent executive orders and directives from the Department of the Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

FHRM Center of Excellence®: A New Era for HR Practitioners

The newly established FHRM Center of Excellence® serves as a dynamic community platform that equips HR specialists with critical tools and knowledge required to navigate through the current challenges and ensure their agencies maintain high levels of readiness. Steve Somers, President of GSUSA, stated, "This new community is intended to be a path forward for HR practitioners, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to lead their agencies through transformation."

This community not only offers access to exclusive webinars led by industry experts but also fosters real-time collaboration amongst Federal HR professionals. By integrating this platform with its extensive training portfolio, GSUSA aims to establish a best practice standard that allows HR practitioners to adapt effectively to unprecedented changes in the federal landscape.

HR Pathways for DOGE Transformation

In conjunction with the FHRM Center, GSUSA has introduced HR Pathways—a program designed to accelerate the abilities of HR practitioners in managing workforce transitions, including buyouts and retirements. This initiative focuses on ensuring mission continuity and fostering a high-performing modernized federal workforce.

Somers emphasized that with a shrinking and evolving workforce, it is essential for HR practitioners to balance separation initiatives with strategic workforce planning, thus empowering mission execution.
