You will study federal and state labor relations laws and the role of labor unions. You will gain essential skills in recruitment, interviewing and hiring and importantly, gain an understanding of the human motivation concepts that can drive effective training and programming. You will understand the function of Human Resources in both the private and the public sectors and learn different strategies for managing human resources and essential change.
