HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

YOUR FUTURE

In the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, organizations require human resources management professionals.

  • Manager, Talent Acquisition
  • Director, Compensation and Benefits
  • Human Resources Planning Specialist
  • Corporate Trainer
  • Employee Relations Advisor
  • Organizational Development Consultant
