If you work in human resources, continuing education, as with any area of business, is a necessity. The question is, what kind of training should you get? There are a number of different programs available to the HR professional, everything from graduate degree programs to certification programs, to shorter seminar and training stints.
In today?s business climate, where human resource professionals are being asked to do more and more, indications are that getting a graduate degree may be the way to go, even with the big price tag attached, according to business analyst Susan Hauser.
Business experts say that human resources is a lot more complicated than it was even 10 to 15 years ago. HR specialists now have to deal with business strategy, operational strategy, even finance as part of their job. To handle these areas, the skills and training you get in a graduate degree program are necessary. In fact, at universities, when business recruiters come to campus, they are passing over graduates with bachelor?s degrees in favor of people with graduate degrees, according to experts.
And having the graduate degree also means a lot more in pay then just having a bachelor?s.
Plus, having that advanced degree can really be of help to businesses. The ideas people are exposed to at the graduate level are usually concepts people are not exposed to in the working world, so people with the graduate knowledge are able to apply it in the business setting to better manage the company operation, improving the bottom line.
Once you make the decision to pursue a graduate degree, another consideration is what type of degree to get. This will depend on your degree of experience and your career goals. If, for example, you are looking to move up the management ranks and expand outside of HR, it might be worth your while to get an MBA with an HR concentration.
If, however, you plan to remain in HR, getting a master?s in human resources might be a better way to go.
And, of course, certification and other training courses are also an option for those who want something a little less expensive and time consuming. These types of programs may appeal more to people who have many years of experience in human resources.
