Day to Day
My day is always different and not super fun, but I enjoy it, being the process person that I am. Sometimes I am meeting and greeting facilitators for training courses. Some days I am trying to come up with the proper curriculum to help an associate's development. Many days I am doing tactical work scheduling and coordinating classes and programs for the Finance organization. I have started to work on a new program which is always fun and challenging work.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
A degree in the HR- Corporate Training / Education would be more beneficial, but most of my experience has come from all of the various life experiences and roles I have played over the years. I would encourage internships and HR rotation programs.
