In 2000-01, Minnesota graduates entered corporate HR and consulting careers in varied locations and industries, including technology, pharmaceuticals, medical products, financial services, manufacturing, oil, and consulting.
Placement generally involves two markets.
National market positions are typically developmental, rotational positions with Fortune 500 companies. These employers are looking for candidates with future management and executive potential who are geographically mobile and are recruited on a national basis. Local market positions are generally specific, functional assignments with smaller companies and tend to be more regional in scope. For summer 2001, HRIR interns were in 15 states.
