Human Resource Development
Human Resources
Development (HRD) is a structured
program to recruit, counsel, and
train unemployed and underemployed
adults. The primary objective is to
help trainees orient themselves to
the world of work, appreciate the
effects of their behavior on others,
and develop the basic academic and
communication skills prerequisite to
obtaining and maintaining
employment. HRD offers a
nontraditional entrance into the
community college system without the
fear of failure.
HRD students can
be divided into three categories:
Emerging
workers:
those who are first time entrants to
the workforce
Transitional workers:
those who
are currently unemployed, including
long-term and short-
term unemployed, dislocated workers,
out-of-school youth,
inmates/parolees and persons
receiving public assistance
payments; and
Current
Workers:
those who are
currently unemployed and want
continuous retraining, upgrading
and/or lifelong learning to remain
competitive in the workplace.
