Personnel and HR
A career in personnel or human resources essentially involves ensuring that an organisation has the right people in the right jobs with the right skills and qualifications. Roles can be specialist in areas such as recruitment or employment law or can be much more generalist where you may do a bit of everything.
The main areas of work include employee relations, employment law, health and safety, recruitment, pay and benefits, training, learning and development.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is the recognised professional body for those engaged in personnel and human resources management and is a valuable source of information. Four of the CIPD branches – North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Humberside cover the Yorkshire region and can be accessed via the CIPD website.
The job market for graduates in HR in Yorkshire is similar to the rest of the country in that employers often expect a professional qualification (CIPD) for management and senior posts. A role at assistant or administrative level is a good way of gaining valuable experience and your employer may then fund your CIPD while you are training. Many graduates who work in HR originally entered through general management trainee roles and then went onto to undertake the CIPD. The CIPD website lists all the institutions that offer the qualification on both a full and part time basis
