The HR Collaborative for Local Government (HR Collaborative) is an NDIRF program that aims to strengthen human resource management within North Dakota local governments by providing affordable training and resources to meet the specific needs of local government HR professionals. HR Collaborative membership is free for all North Dakota local government entities.

Established in 2008 through grant funding awarded by the Otto Bremer Foundation, the HR Collaborative has provided human resource management training and resources to more than 800 North Dakota local government HR departments through its biennial conference, virtual workshop series, and HR Reference Guide.

The NDIRF began leading this program in January 2023 with representatives from partnering organizations who continue to play an integral role to the success of the program.
