Human Resource Associate Option
A Great Career
Human resources is one of the fastest growing
sectors of American business. As a human resource
associate, you will help companies find, hire, and
keep the most effective employees. You might
specialize in a specific department (payroll, benefits,
safety, etc,) work with a HR team, or - if you work
for a small company - manage human resources all
on your own!
What can I expect?
This 20 month option features creative, practical
training. You can expect lots of hands-on projects, as
well as learning and networking opportunities with
visiting HR professionals.
You’ll learn how to: explain company procedures
and benefits to new employees; develop training
presentations; initiate, organize, maintain and store
personnel records; and manage issues/crisises in the
workplace.
