TCCN Education Committee

Empowering Total Rewards and HR Professionals Through Innovative Learning


Our Mission

The Education Committee at Twin Cities Compensation Network (TCCN) is dedicated to providing members with impactful, high-quality educational opportunities that advance their careers and enhance their expertise in Total Rewards and HR disciplines.

A Three-Tiered Approach to Learning

Tier 1: Skill Building

Developing Practical Expertise

  • What We Offer: Interactive workshops and focused sessions designed to equip professionals with practical, hands-on skills directly applicable to their roles.

  • Why It Matters: In a rapidly evolving industry, staying ahead means continually refining your abilities and mastering new tools.

  • Examples: Technology workshops, foundational HR and compensation classes, and advanced learning opportunities like MS Excel and MS Access courses.

Tier 2: Homegrown Offerings

Leveraging the Power of Community Expertise

  • What We Offer: Exclusive programs created and delivered by TCCN’s own members, tailored to address current trends and specific challenges faced by Total Rewards professionals.

  • Why It Matters: Homegrown programs harness the collective wisdom of our community, providing uniquely relevant and actionable insights.

  • Examples: Programs like Executive Compensation 101 and Sales Compensation classes, built with our members in mind.

Tier 3: WorldatWork Certification Courses

Advancing Careers Through Industry Certification

  • What We Offer: In-person courses designed to support members in achieving WorldatWork’s CCP certification. The updated certification path now requires only 8 courses, and TCCN offers a rotating schedule to help you complete the program in three years. Taking a course directly with WorldatWork? TCCN members can use code TCCN24 to save $100 when you sign up!

  • Why It Matters: Certifications like CCP establish credibility and expertise in Total Rewards, positioning you as a leader in your field.

  • Examples: Courses include “Creating Impact Through Total Rewards,” “Understanding the Total Rewards Regulatory Landscape,” and “Designing and Managing Base Pay Systems.”

To ensure a quality experience and thoughtful use of resources, registration minimums will be required 2 weeks prior to the course offering date. For homegrown or skills building courses, we require a minimum of 2 registrants. WorldatWork requires a minimum of 8 registrants for CCP certification courses.
