Human Resources Managers plan, organize, direct and control the operations of human resources and personnel departments in the private sector and government.

It is highly recommended that you obtain a university degree in a field related to personnel management (business administration, industrial relations, commerce, psychology) or complete a professional development program in personnel administration.

You also need several years' experience as a personnel officer or human resource specialist.

With experience, you may move up the ranks to become a senior manager.

Many recent entrants have an undergraduate university degree, and about 1 in 10 has a graduate degree.
