Human Resources Management Pathway

Show All

Is your student good with people and passionate about fair and equal working conditions? Do they tend to be an advocate for others? Then they may be well suited for a career in human resources.

Human resources managers are a liaison between the administration and the employees. This strategic role requires a commitment to ethics, development, training, and organizational management.

Some human resources managers specialize in one area, such as recruitment or benefits, while others have a broad skillset, dabbling in everything from conflict resolution to scheduling performance reviews. If you're interested in becoming a human resources professional, you'll need to be a problem solver, an excellent communicator, and an all-around strategist.


Gain real-world skills through project-based learning.

Stride Career Prep has implemented project-based learning (PBL) for a number of courses in this pathway. PBL curriculum is designed to hone students' problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, and team collaboration skills. With PBL, there's little to memorize and repeat. Instead, students are given a real-life problem to solve and must work with a team to develop a creative solution.
