Human Resources Development (HRD) is a pre-vocational and pre-employment skills training program designed to educate and prepare persons for success in the workplace. HRD is mainly intended for those persons who are unemployed, underemployed, dislocated workers, or employed but seeking skills upgrading or retraining. It is state-funded through the N.C. Community College System. The Human Resource Development Program (HRD) aims to educate and train individuals for success in the workplace. HRD classes offer interviewing skills, resume/application preparation, job search assistance, computer skills, and soft skills.
The HRD program focuses on customer wants and needs. Training may include a variety of topics relating to job orientation and motivation, employability skills, self-sufficiency, or customized skills training. Instruction can be provided on either an individual or group basis. Training length will vary according to customer needs. HRD can be linked to other college training programs or to agencies outside the institution where appropriate. Upon completing prescribed classes, students are assisted with job placement or further training.
The core curriculum for HRD training includes, but is not limited to, the following components:
You may qualify for classes at NO COST TO YOU if you are unemployed, have received notification of a pending layoff, are working and eligible for the Federal Earned Income TAX Credit (FEITC), or are working and earning wages at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
