HR Glossary

What is Continuing Education?

Formal learning activities pursued after initial education to maintain professional licenses, meet regulatory requirements, or enhance skills in a specific field.

Why it matters in hiring

Continuing Education comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
