Program Description
Human resource development (HRD) is a process of developing and
unleashing human expertise through organization development and
personnel training and development. A career in this field can lead
to specialization in areas such as employee training, benefits management
or job evaluation—or a career may demand a wide range of abilities
and responsibilities. Work environments include business, nonprofit,
educational, and governmental settings. Human resource development
job titles can include: human resource managers; training and development
specialists; employment, recruitment and placement specialists;
compensation; benefits and job analysis specialists; and industrial
and labor relations supervisors.
