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.
