Cabrillo College is seeking approval from the Chancellor’s Office for the new Human Relations and Resources Certificate of Achievement in Career and Technical Education. The human relations and resources program is designed to train and educate students to work in the fields of human resources, management, and general business operations. The need for human resource professionals has been advocated for by local businesses and organizations and supported by current, regional labor market research (TOP Code 0506.00). The human relations and resources program is aligned with Cabrillo’s mission, master plan, and statewide community college work in Guided Pathways. Approval of this program will benefit regional employers, fulfill corporate needs of the local and bay area community, augment college enrollment, and support non-traditional and underserved minority students in a viable career and academic path. This program would give our students the knowledge and skills they need to gain acceptance to a four-year institution or excel in the workforce. The goal is for certificate completers to be gainfully employed whether they continued with a AA/AS degree or transferred to a university. Working with employers to identify earning potential is promising, with potential for a starting salary of $29/hr - $38/hr for a human resource specialist to a high of $52/hr -$71/hr for a human resource manager. The labor market data shows great potential for job growth in this area. Expected growth in the field is expected to be at an average of 7% increase in the next five years. It is critical to give community college students educational and professional experience that is necessary to be successful, and provide a solid income potential.
The Human Resources and Relations Certificate of Achievement requires 17 units of course credit including three required core courses for 11 units and two elective courses for six units.
