Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing San Diego teams
San Diego County counts 1,288,713 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 93,407 employer establishments, and 95 percent of those establishments have fewer than 50 employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Most run lean HR teams. When one manager mishandles a complaint, there is rarely a specialist down the hall to catch it.

California employment context
HR compliance for California employers
California employers with five or more employees must provide harassment prevention training: two hours for supervisors and one hour for non-supervisory employees, within six months of hire or promotion and every two years after. The requirement is set by Government Code section 12950.1 (added by SB 1343) and enforced by the California Civil Rights Department. Seasonal and temporary staff must be trained within 30 calendar days of hire or 100 hours worked, whichever comes first, and live interactive webinar training satisfies the law. California employers also generated 4,750 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), so keep completion records for every employee. Catapult runs SB 1343-compliant sessions live online, so San Diego teams hit the two-year deadline without leaving their desks.

Good to know
San Diego HR training questions
How often does California harassment prevention training have to be repeated?
Every 2 years. Government Code section 12950.1 sets the cycle: initial training within 6 months of hire or promotion, then a refresher every 2 years. Supervisors need 2 hours, other employees 1 hour. Many San Diego employers align the whole company to one calendar cycle.
Distance is not a barrier. All open-enrollment courses run live online, and San Diego teams attend alongside peers nationwide. Because sessions are posted in Eastern Time, a noon Eastern start is a 9:00 AM seat locally. Private on-site delivery is the alternative when you want a room of your own people.
The catalog covers leadership and management, harassment prevention, professional development, technology skills and HRCI and SHRM certification prep. For San Diego employers, demand concentrates where local employment does: health care accounts for 232,618 jobs in San Diego County (BLS QCEW, 2025 annual averages).
Yes, most courses carry both HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. That matters locally: the San Diego area, CA area employs 9,110 HR specialists (BLS OEWS, May 2025), and each needs 60 recertification credits every 3 years. Completion records arrive after every session.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for San Diego employers live online or on-site, scheduled around shifts and time zones, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
