Personnel Officer
Human Resource Officer

Corporate trainers provide administration help for commercial, industrial, government and other organisations. They teach and advise the staff and revise the structure of the workplace.

Corporate trainers may perform the following tasks:

  • work out the number of people working and their skills and requirements to run the organisation successfully
  • find out the skills and qualities needed for each job and create job descriptions and duty statements
  • advertise staff vacancies, assess applications, interview applicants, give selection tests, prepare reports, and make recommendations to management about staff
  • look after the personal information of employees on matters such as wages, insurance, holiday and training,
  • arrange and conduct staff training
  • use management information systems to record, maintain, plan and manage the organisation's staff
  • give advice and information to management and employees on equal opportunity, anti-discrimination and occupational health and safety programs
  • advise employees on work matters, career development, personal problems and industrial matters, and organise employee canteens, first aid and social activities




 

 



 

In small organisations, corporate trainers are  responsible for all staffing matters. In large organisations they may specialise in  recruitment, wages and entitlements or staff training.

To become a corporate trainer people begin on the job, as clerks in the human resources management/personnel management field, and study part-time. Others come to this kind of work after lots of organisational experience, seeking a
temporary or permanent career change. Appropriate tertiary courses include degrees in industrial relations, psychology, management, commerce or economics.
Entry to courses usually requires successful completion of the HSC or ACT Year 12 or their equivalent. 2u English and 2u maths are recomended.
