What is HumanResourcesEDU.org’s Mission?
The idea to develop HumanResourcesEDU.org came about in 2014 when the economic recovery had proven itself to be lasting and employers were rebuilding the workforce and sourcing new talent. As the economic reboot evolved over the next several years to become one of the most significant periods of job growth ever seen, the strategic importance of having effective HR departments came sharply into focus in the businesses world.
We created HumanResourcesEDU.org to serve as a resource for prospective undergrads aspiring to entry-level HR positions, as well as current specialists and managers looking to advance to upper-level management and executive leadership positions through graduate studies in business administration and HRM.
HumanResourcesEDU.org serves as a guide to undergraduate and graduate level education options, salary expectations and possible career paths for current and aspiring HR professionals. It was designed to make the decision-making process simpler for anybody considering their career options in HR – and looking for the right degree to get them there.
