QUESTION:

Is a Human Resources Diploma enough in today's job market?

ANSWER:

This really depends on the Company that is recruiting and on the type/level of position that they are recruiting for.

Health & Safety positions - a lot of organizations will look for continual upgrading or Certification as a Safety Specialist

Labour Relations - Practical experience is usually required to move into a role of this nature. Suggestion - a good way to gain this experience is to start in a supervisor position if possible and then move to HR. This would give you some good strong experience administering a collective agreement.

Strong administrative skills and good computer skills are required for most entry level positions particularly when dealing with HRIS systems or pension and benefits administration.

If you are looking to move into an HR role, taking on a recruiting role is a good way to start.
