Human Resources Management
If you’re a people person,
this could be a great career field.
Human Resources Management
The human resources field provides a growing range of opportunities for those who enjoy working with people. Depending on the size of your company, you could be in charge of hiring employees, managing healthcare plans, handling payroll, and/or making sure your company follows all worker health and safety regulations.
In addition, new kinds of human resource specialists will be needed. Companies will soon be hiring more employment mediators, for example, to ensure better negotiations between labor and management. Opportunities are also predicted to grow for international human resources managers and human resource information systems specialists.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted a healthy 17% job growth in human resources between 2006 and 2016. Opportunities will be best for those who have a college degree and have earned certification.
