Program Description: The Human Resources Administrative Assistant certificate prepares individuals to support the planning, coordinating, and directing of the workforce functions of an organization. Key skills include communication skills - strong speaking, writing, and listening skills; Decision-making skills - the ability to balance the strengths and weaknesses of different options and decide the best course of action; Interpersonal skills - ability to develop working relationships with their colleagues; Leadership skills - ability to coordinate work activities and ensure that staff complete the duties and responsibilities of their department; and Organizational skills - ability to prioritize tasks and manage several projects at once.
Employment Opportunities: Those students who graduate with the Human Resources Administrative Assistant certificate may be employed in positions in office settings including educational institutions, federal, state, and local government offices, and small and large businesses. Human resources administrative assistants help plan, coordinate, and direct the administrative functions of an organization. They assist in overseeing the recruiting, interviewing, and hiring of new staff; consult with top executives on strategic planning; and serve as a link between an organization's management and its employees. Employment of human resources administrative assistants mirrors that of HR managers and is projected to grow 6 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the average for all occupations. Employment growth depends largely on the performance and growth of individual companies. As new companies form and organizations expand their operations, they will need more human resources employees to administer and monitor their programs.
