Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Boulder teams
Boulder County counts 160,137 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 12,990 employer establishments, and 96 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.

Colorado employment context
HR compliance for Colorado employers
Colorado does not mandate harassment prevention training for private employers. The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act covers employers of every size and is enforced by the Colorado Civil Rights Division. The standard tightened in August 2023, when the POWR Act (SB 23-172) removed the old severe-or-pervasive test, so unwelcome conduct based on a protected class can now be unlawful harassment well before it becomes extreme. That makes early, documented manager training more valuable, not less. Colorado employers also generated 1,290 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), on top of state filings. Under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions, a genuine policy plus documented supervisor training gives an employer an affirmative defense to supervisor harassment claims. For Boulder employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions cover this ground and document it.

Good to know
Boulder HR training questions
What counts as workplace harassment under Colorado law?
Since August 2023, unwelcome conduct based on a protected class can be unlawful harassment in Colorado even when it is not severe or pervasive; the POWR Act removed that older test. Boulder employers should train managers to act on early complaints rather than waiting for extreme conduct.
Yes. Every public session is delivered live online, so a Boulder team joins the same class as attendees anywhere in the country. Sessions are posted in Eastern Time, and a noon Eastern start is a 10:00 AM seat locally. The only physical classrooms are in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Everything an HR team buys training for: compliance and harassment prevention, manager development, professional skills, technology and certification prep. Course pages show upcoming dates, and any session can be delivered privately for a Boulder group, online or at your site.
Yes, most courses carry both HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. That matters locally: the Boulder, CO area employs 1,480 HR specialists (BLS OEWS, May 2025), and each needs 60 recertification credits every 3 years. Completion records arrive after every session.
