Course(s) Objectives:   Human Resources Management

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the term used to describe formal systems devised for the management of people within an organization. The responsibilities of a human resource manager fall into three major areas: staffing, employee compensation and benefits, and defining/designing work. Essentially, the purpose of HRM is to maximize the productivity of an organization by optimizing the effectiveness of its employees. Strategy, "the basic mission of human resources will always be to acquire, develop, and retain talent; align the workforce with the business; and be an excellent contributor to the business. Those three challenges will never change."

Until fairly recently, an organization's human resources department was often consigned to lower rungs of the corporate hierarchy, despite the fact that its mandate is to replenish and nourish what is often cited-;legitimately-;as an organization's greatest resource, it's work force. But in recent years recognition of the importance of human resources management to a company's overall health has grown dramatically.

Hiring the right people-; and training them well-;can often mean the difference between scratching out the barest of livelihoods and steady business growth'¦. Personnel problems do not discriminate between small and big business. You find them in all businesses, regardless of size."

 

Course(s) Objectives:  Business Practicum

This course is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied knowledge and skills.  Practicum experiences occur in a paid or unpaid arrangement and a variety of locations appropriate to the nature and level of experience.  Students implement personal & interpersonal skills to strengthen individual performance in the workplace and in society and to make a successful transition to the workforce or postsecondary education.  Students apply technical skills to address business applications of emerging technologies.  This course can use real working conditions or lab conditions at the school that will enhance the student knowledge of a variety of businesses’ and the skills needed to be successful in them.
