The Path
As a student you can use The Path to explore different aspects of HR, including the core capabilities underlying excellent HR practice, and specialist areas. This will give you an insight into the variety and breadth of the profession.
The Path may help you to get a feel for what specialist domains interest you. This could help with aligning your university or tertiary education courses with your desired career direction. For example, if you are keen to work in the recruitment domain, you may want to sign up for HR courses that teach on attraction, recruitment & selection.
