Career Development
‘Partnering the profession’ – that’s what we do – being there with you, our Members – providing membership benefits.
The Career Development Programme had been set up to examine Membership Benefits as a whole.
The Programme proposes new ways to support you and this entailed a complete career development package that starts when a member joins and continues through with the member until retirement.
Since the beginning of the project a number of new initiatives have been created and several are nearing completion. These following measures will enhance membership benefits:
- The introduction of HRINZ Coaching Directory, this membership service runs along side the very sucessful Mentorship Programme.
- The establishment of an online Career Log (cLog) to be released by the end of 2008. This will help members identify, amongst other things, training and development needs.
- The establishement of the Education Endorsement Programme where members will be able to find suitable academic and educational courses to develop and enhance their HR knowledge against the HRINZ competency framework.
- With the use of new online tools, members’ career development needs will be identified immediately upon joining the Institute.
Check out the HRINZ HR Competencies for Professional Accreditation, which enables members to self assess themselves against the HRINZ benchmarks for applications for Professional Membership.
- Any one considering joining the profession, anyone in the profession and any member, can call the HRINZ National Office, Career Centre and get pointed in the right direction. This position is filled by the Manager - HR Careers & Education.
Or you can view the following information such as HR Job Families or HRINZ Remuneration Survey's or further information on getting a career started in HR, click here.
- Given the mobility of members, we are working on strategic career partnerships with HR organisations in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
- Continuing to develop our links with tertiary education providers and so we attend careers fairs and orientation days and encourage student participation. We have produced a careers flyer ‘ Your career in HR starts HERE ’ And launched an HR Educators Newsletter and an HR Students website.
- Finally, we established an electronic ‘Community of Interest’ so that members with common interests will be able to communicate electronically with each other on a discrete site within the HRINZ website.
