Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Aurora teams
Keeping people is the harder half of hiring in Aurora. Illinois workers quit at an average monthly rate of 2.0 percent in 2025 (BLS JOLTS state estimates, retrieved 2026-07-27), and each exit lands on the supervisors who stay. With 181,303 private-sector jobs in Kane County, manager skills are the retention lever Aurora employers actually control.

Illinois employment context
HR compliance for Illinois employers
Illinois is one of the few states that mandates workplace training. Under the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/2-109), every employer with employees working in Illinois must provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees at least once a year, starting from the first employee on payroll. The training must cover the definition and examples of unlawful sexual harassment, the federal and state remedies available to victims, and the employer’s responsibilities for prevention, investigation and correction. Employers may use the free model program from the Illinois Department of Human Rights or any program that meets or exceeds it; IDHR enforces the mandate with civil penalties that reach $5,000 for repeat violations. Illinois employers also generated 5,180 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), so completion records matter. Catapult’s live online sessions meet the annual requirement for Aurora teams, with a completion record for every attendee.

Good to know
Aurora HR training questions
Which employers are covered by the Illinois harassment training requirement?
All of them. 775 ILCS 5/2-109 applies to every employer with employees working in Illinois, with no minimum headcount, so an Aurora shop with one employee is covered. Every employee must be trained at least once a year, and completion records are the proof IDHR asks to see.
Distance is not the constraint. All open-enrollment courses run live online, and Aurora attendees join peers nationwide. Times are posted in Eastern Time, and a noon Eastern start is an 11:00 AM seat locally. Private on-site delivery is the alternative when you want a room of your own people.
Leadership and management, harassment prevention and compliance, professional development, technology skills and HRCI and SHRM certification prep. Around Aurora, demand follows the jobs: manufacturing accounts for 31,925 positions in Kane County (BLS QCEW, 2025 annual averages), and the compliance and supervision courses map straight to it.
Yes. Most Catapult courses are approved for HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. Both bodies require 60 credits on a 3-year cycle, so a regular course cadence keeps HR professionals current, and every attendee gets a completion record.
Yes. Private delivery for Aurora organizations runs either live online, reserved for your team, or on-site with a facilitator at your location, scheduled around your calendar and your time zone.
