Sažetak
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to inform the preparation of HRD professionals by providing an empirical analysis of the knowledge, skills, and responsibilities employers expect in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach – This study reports a qualitative content analysis of online HRD job postings. Findings – Results of this content analysis indicated that the most recent employer expectations for HRD practitioners as reflected in HRD-related job postings for knowledge and responsibilities were instructional design, training delivery, learning management systems, and learning technologies. The outcomes reinforced that employers specifically expect education technology-based knowledge and skills. Research limitations/implications – The job postings included in the study were all collected from one source, the Association for Talent Development job site. Practical implications – Educational programs can use these findings to inform curricular decisions related to knowledge and skills to be taught and practiced during the preparation of L&D practitioners and HRD professionals. Originality/value – This paper analyzes online HRD job postings to understand what knowledge and skills employers expected from L&D practitioners and HRD professionals
