On August 3, San Diego SHRM will be holding our first HR Career Day in an effort to increase student awareness of HR careers and pathways, and educational opportunities linked to these pathways. The Career Day will also introduce youth to students engaging in post-secondary human resources programs and to HR professionals so as to aid in their own career journey process. Working closely with the Workforce Partnership, and their program to help prepare students for opportunities and careers, our interaction will be focused on youth in the program ages 16 to 24. We will provide career professionals to interact with the students to help them with resumes and interview skills, as well as insights into HR careers. This will be a three hour program in the following locations: Cal State San Marcos Campus, UCSD Faculty Club and the San Diego Continuing Education Cesar Chavez Campus.
