Good morning, I wanted to take a moment to let my groups know about a conference I will be attending this week and ask what your thoughts are about this post. In addition to direct HR support to small entities, I also offer course development/facilitation services utilizing my experiences and GCDF certification as a skill set. Both of these services are provided virtually from a home based self employed woman owned business. However, just this month I did hire a young lady to support the business on a Part-Time basis and to be the "face" to the business during traditional office hours. This week our State Department of Education along with other interesting organizations will be hosting the Summer CTE conference. I chose to attend this conference in hopes of connecting the K-12 environment needs to the HR and Workforce Development arena. I will be sharing the "I love HR" area with all who will hear. I want to introduce this audience to HR from the introduction to the more advanced stage and this will be what I am "selling" (in the networking sense) this week. It would be truly very rewarding to share my professional experience, knowledge and career development discoveries with High School Students in hopes of getting much needed information to them and light a fire for those who may seek a career related to HR. I would love to hear from the Small Business community. How is HR connected to your business and what would you offer to someone looking to work in or learn about HR? I'll watch for responses and hope you have a wonderful week. I will report back on the conference next Monday. Have a great week.
