Strategic Human Capital Management Certificate

About the field

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of human resources managers and specialists is expected to grow faster than average, and that college graduates with certification should have the best job opportunities.

In addition, the bureau recognizes the trend of HR professionals' expanded roles: "Today's human resources workers manage [administrative] tasks, but, increasingly, they also consult with top executives regarding strategic planning. They have moved from behind-the-scenes staff work to leading the company in suggesting and changing policies."
