Human Resource Consultant

Human resources consultants are business professionals who have extensive experience dealing with issues related to employment, labor relations, management, recruiting and interviewing, benefits, hiring and firing, training and development, performance improvement, conflict resolution and mediation or arbitration, employment law, and other business issues. Increasingly, senior executives recognize the significance of human resources to the financial success of their businesses, and they turn to human resource consultants as partners in strategic planning for their organizations.

JFK University offers several programs, courses, and certificates that support your interest in becoming a human resources consultant.

In the School of Management (SOM), you can explore options in business administration, including specializations in project management, e-commerce, leadership, and strategic management, wrapped in the perspective of social responsibility and sustainability. Our MA in Career Development combines career theory, management techniques, humanistic psychology, and practical skills that can serve you well as a consultant.

The Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP) recognizes the value of people skills in successful change management within organizations. Human resource consultants can benefit from learning the skills of organizational development, leadership, team building, managing diversity, coaching, managing and resolving conflict, and personal mastery. Degree programs include the PsyD, the MA in Counseling Psychology, the MA in Organizational Psychology, and a certificate in Coaching that helps individuals understand how to establish a consulting practice, as well as a certificate in organizational psychology.

The School of Education and Liberal Arts (SELA) offers the Essentials Coaching certificate in collaboration with the Ford Institute for Integrative Coaching that may be helpful to human resource professionals interested in establishing a private practice that encourages positive change.
