Human Resources Program
Human Resources Develop
ment Shows Way
Rejection it hard to
, swallow, especially if it
; means no job, no work, no
; paycheck. Failure at a job
i may even be more difficult to
? .accept. Most people want to
1 work, want to accept respon
sibility and feel that they can
! support themselves.
It has been said that we
learn from failure. No doubt
. we do. Unfortunately, we all
\ too often do learn to accept
1 failure and begin to believe
that perhaps we just don't
have what it take to suc
ceed.
Some people are finding
ways to conquer this kind of
self-defeating cycle. There
are programs devoted to
lessening the hardships of
failure. One such program is
HRD, Human Resources De
velopment.
HRD at James Sprunt
Institute
HRD is now in its fifth year
at JSI and in that five years
many adults have completed
the program and were able to
get jobs suited to their
qualifications.
Edith Bannerman of
Beulaville graduated from
r
the program in December,
1978. Edith is presently em
ployed at the County
Accountant's office as a mail
clerk. Edith feels that the
HRD approach to teaching
created many special experi
ences for her. "During my
enrollment in the hrd pro
gram, 1 was assisted by a
staff of conscientious and
sincere people who helped
me to realize that my edu
cational and personal skills
were insufficient to cope with
life's problems." Today she
enjoys her work as mail clerk
and finds it rewarding
beyond just the paycheck she
receives.
Teresa Jones of Rose Hill
graduated August, 1978. She
is now a disc jockey at
WEGG radio station in Rose
Hill. Teresa found that learn
ing about herself was the
most rewarding aspect of the
program. "If 1 could Sum
marize the HRD program
with a few special words, 1
would probably just say' that
it's a really worthwhile pro
gram. It helped me to re
evaluate my priorities and
rearrange them according to
my values."
Franklin M. Kenan of
Chinquapin graduated in
May, 1978. He is now cur
rently enrolled in training
under the heavy-duty diesel
mechanics program at James
Sprunt Institute. Frank
learned that planning for the
future played a vital role in '
his life. "Motivation was
another i-n' ortant aspect of
the program. I gained a
broader insight on job inter
views and techniques', along
with other personal and
emotional assets. Through
this program, 1 was made
aware of my weaknesses and
was motivated with an atti
tude to deal with them."
Grace Jones of Beulaville,
a graduate from the program
in July, 1978, also enrolled in
training under the heavy
duty diesel mechanics pro
gram at JSI, adds, "After
being oriented to the many
stages of the world of work, I
became equally interested in
the proper way to complete a
job application, conduct one
self during a job interview,
and the important work
habits that should be applied
in a working situation."
The HRD program was the
beginning of a second chance
for Sarah Freeman of
Teachey, a clerk-typist at the
Services for the Aged pro
gram in Kenansville, a
graduate from the program
in August, 1978. "By en
rolling in the executive sec
retary program, I became
closer to reaching one of my
goals that was brought to my
attention during my studies
in HRD. My goal was to
upgrade my educational level
to be a secretary that would
be an asset to any business
or organization and be able
to cope with any changing
situations."
I
Alonza Kelly of Chinqua
pin graduated from the
program in April, 1978 and is
presently employed as a
forklift operator at Swift
Turkey Farms in Wallace.
"When I came to the HRD
program," he says, "I was
full of self-doubt and had a
very poor self-image.
However, through the
various group discussions,
role-playing exercises, and
personal counseling ses
sions, I developed confi
dence in my judgment and
ability to take control of my
life. 1 will probably always
consider the decision to
enroll in the HRD program as
being the highlight of my
life."

HRD In Detail
The Human Resources
Development program at
James Sprunt Institute is a
state-sponsored program
which grew out of joint
efforts by the U.S. Depart
ment of Labor and the
EmDlovment Commission
and administered through
the N.C. Department of
Community Colleges and the
N.C. Manpower Develop
ment Corporation of the
Department of Labor.
Operating in 46 other com
munity colleges and techni
cal institutes HRD's primary
objective is to help the
jobless trainee reorient him
self through recognition of
personal assets and limita
tions. He does this through
understanding the effect of
his behavior on others, be
coming familiar with
problem-solving processes,
and by developing basic aca
demic and communication
skills essential to obtaining
and holding employment.
The student not only benefits
from the program, but also
the employer and the com
munity benefit. Employers
are more likely to find a
capable and highly motivated
work force. Other benefits
are reduced unemployment,
reduced public assistance,
increased tax revenues, and
greater civic responsibility
and pride.
People are still enrolling in
the HRD program to receive
training in motivation, atti
tudes and job readiness skills
for employment. In the fiscal
year May 1977 - April 1978,
there were 86 persons en
rolled. Sixty and one-half
percent continued their edu
cation by enrolling in voca
tional or technical programs.
The HRD program is
unique in its design to help
the individual meet needs
leading to employment. The
program also teaches an
individual how to adjust to
the stresses of society. We
encourage our participants to
continue their education by
enrolling in skill programs
which could lead to cmpl >y
ment.
A staff of four highly
qualified counselors, tutors
and support personnel main
tain the program at JSI on a
continuing basis. Staff mem
bers are Shirley Thomas.
Director; Bryant Mclver and
Stan Gelbhaar, instructors,
and Catherine Brinson, sec
retary. They may be con
tacted at James Sprunt In
stitute any weekday from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m.
