UC Irvine Extension adds Human Resources Management Certificate Program to Growing List of Online Course Offerings 
 
Asynchronous, Accelerated Learning Option Allows Working Students Greater Flexibility 

The University of California, Irvine Extension has announced the online availability of its Human Resources Management Certificate Program, offered to provide working students with a flexible alternative to on-campus study. The program, developed in collaboration with the National Human Resources Association, employs coursework that reflects the most current activities and functions in human resources, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully fulfill the role of human resources generalist. “Training and Human Resources Development,” a course offered through the accelerated program, will also be made available to self-learners at UC Irvine Extension’s OpenCourseWare Web site.

“Because many of the students that are attracted to our Human Resources management certificate program are working professionals – HR generalists, assistants, trainers, recruiters, staffing specialists, and office managers – the accelerated, online format represents a flexible option that’s really necessary for them to learn,” explains Adam Porter, SPHR, senior director of human resources at Edwards Lifesciences, LLC and advisory committee member at UC Irvine Extension. “The online format offers them the same comprehensive and in-depth course of study as the traditional format, but enables them to achieve their learning and professional goals on their time and in a setting off-campus that works with their own schedule.” 

UC Irvine Extension’s program is highly regarded by local employers for its “real-world” focus, immediate applicability in the workplace, and most up-to-date information on domestic and international HR practices. Students can expect to leave the program with the ability to confidently interface with those in specialty human resources areas and have a positive influence on the HR functions within their respective organizations. Each course in the program stresses practical information and techniques useful in identifying, attracting and retaining employees and in positioning human resources as a strategic business partner in a highly competitive work environment. 

“Offering the program online is not just important to the students who are already working professionals,” relates Linda Denton, MHROD, corporate learning and executive coach and advisory committee member for the program. “The OpenCourseWare offering represents a huge benefit to self-learners who want to increase their knowledge about human resources. It gives them a glimpse into the UC Irvine Extension experience, at no cost.”

Other OpenCourseWare curricula available online includes “The Capital Markets,” a course part of the Investor Relations certificate program and “Introduction to Spa and Hospitality Operations,” a course part of the Spa and Hospitality management certificate program. Easily accessed at http://ocw.uci.edu/courses, the courses are offered to accommodate the needs of busy professionals. For more information about the Human Resources Management Certificate Program available online through UC Irvine Extension, contact Kathy Amoroso at kamaroso@uci.edu or visit online at http://unex.uci.edu/certificates/business_mgmt/hr/.

When an employer makes the difficult decision to invest in a new employee, many of them will really want to get to know that employee – you – as well as possible before making that final decision. So go ahead, show them you can follow up with that job fair encounter by applying online (tip - grab their business card and send them a cover letter reminding them that you met them at the job fair). If an online application leads to an invitation to meet with an employer at a job fair, do it! This is your chance at that important first interview.

Another important note about resumes and job fairs:
Sometimes employers want to get out and meet people face-to-face and also require (for applicant tracking purposes, ease of managing paperwork, etc.) an online record of your application. At job fairs, employers may decline your paper resume and ask you to submit your resume online. Don’t be discouraged. Accommodate the employer’s request by following their application guidelines. Your efforts on both fronts (attendance at the fair and applying online) are deeply appreciated by the employer.

It may seem like a lot of effort and courage to approach an employer more than once to get a job – but like any relationship, the one between you and your future employer deserves your best effort. Give it your all – and as always, let us know about your successes!

HOUSING OUR WORKFORCE

  A Business Solution to Orange County ’s Housing Crisis

November 15, 2007   
7:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Radisson Hotel, Newport Beach

Hosted by the Orange County Housing Trust

Co-Hosted by:  Mary Erickson Community Housing

Employer Assisted Housing . . . A Corporate Solution to Orange County’s Housing Crisis

One of the biggest challenges facing the Orange County business community today is the negative impact housing costs have on a company’s ability to attract and retain workers, both skilled and unskilled.  “Businesses have been telling us for the last five years that they cannot find enough skilled workers,” says Lucy Dunn, CEO of the Orange County Business Council. “Forecasts estimate we could lose up to 20 percent of our young adults in the next 20 years, mainly due to the lack of entry-level housing. Losing these additional young workers hurts the county’s businesses and threatens our future economic growth.”

A solution that has proven effective in other parts of California and the nation is employer-assisted housing (EAH).   A number of large public service employers, particularly universities and hospitals, have developed EAH programs to both assist their employees and encourage reinvestment in their surrounding neighborhoods.  Private corporations offering EAH benefits to their employees include Starwood (owner of the Orange County ’s St. Regis Resort), Computer Associates, Tyson Foods, Honeywell, Harley-Davidson, and the GMAC companies. Health care providers with EAH programs include nationwide HMOs such as Kaiser Permanente, as well as a number of local hospitals and medical centers.

Local governments seem to be particularly inclined to support EAH programs given that they promote regional economic development and often leverage private dollars to support housing.  Municipal and county governments in high-cost housing markets, such as Los Angeles , are using EAH to close the housing affordability gap for teachers, firefighters, and police.  The City of Irvine is working on a program to assist  its police officers with home purchases in the city. 

If you are corporate CEO, COO, CFO or Human Resources executive, a housing advocate, or a government official with responsibility for housing programs, please mark your calendar for November 15, 2007 .  This will be the first symposium in Orange County featuring informational programs, expert panels and case studies that focus directly on Employer Assisted Housing programs and what companies and local government can do to provide more quality housing for our workforce and their families.   For information, call 949.559.9382.

The work you do and the critical decisions you make as a Human Resource Professional greatly impact your company's bottom line. Now in its 50th year, our Annual Conference & Exhibition is your opportunity to come together with your colleagues for three action- and education-packed days designed to keep you in top professional form.

This year's conference will focus on three key components critical to demonstrating the strategic link between human resources and the overall success of your organization.

• Developing Leaders - Tapping into your individual leadership potential is paramount for your personal and professional success.
• Fostering Innovation - The ability to harness new ideas that add to the bottom line is just one of the ways HR professionals demonstrate their leadership potential.
• Reinforcing HR Essentials - A solid HR business and skills foundation is crucial to your success

To my surprise, she said that her major corporation still had a very difficult time in recruiting top talent because of their lack of name recognition amongst the candidate pool they were seeking.  Job seekers just didn’t know who they were or what they did as a business.  And then, the candidates that did recognize their name were so intimidated, they often either didn’t apply or just plain blew the interview because of being so nervous.

 So what could she do?  It was her job to both brand the company as an employer of choice and then to also pierce the corporate façade… the big scary giant… and make the company real.  After all, people don’t work for corporations really.  They work for people.  How could she make this about the people again?

In our infinite, over caffeinated wisdom, we came up with one possible solution.  Its about building relationships.  It’s the kind of relationship that you have with the radio or TV show host that you listen to every morning.  You get to feel like you know that person even though you’ve never met them.  This friend of mine has already started with her coffee house interviews as a way to put the candidate at ease.  Her next step would be to do more to reach out to more people with little effort… she was going to start to blog. 

Simply put, a blog is a journal about the ongoing workings and happenings within the company.  Taken as a whole, it tells the people story of the company in a conversational, real tone.  Blogging in recruitment is gaining in popularity amongst all types of employers.  It gives the employer the ability to reach out and speak directly to their top candidate pool.  It answers all those questions that candidates need to know, but were afraid to ask.  And with today’s technology, employers can now reach out to thousands of potential applicants with little extra effort and literally no additional expenditure.

Shameless Plug:  Join the Jobing Community.  Blogging on Jobing.com is a free service.  It is now open to all local employers and community organizations with ties to local workforce development.  Speak to your industry specialist today about blogging on Jobing.com. 

As the Director of Community Relations for Jobing.com I not only have the coolest job in the world, I have a job that makes a difference in our community and provides me the opportunity to support our local business and community organizations. We do this through the alliances we create such as our partnerships which draw a diverse pool of candidates to our website and Career Expos from:
