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.
