Hello all:
I am a graduate student of human resources and organizational development at a midwestern business school in US. I need some advice regarding career opportunities in HRIS. My previous background includes a BBA in Management. I dont have much HR experience as i have started my masters right after the undergraduate. I would request you to please tell me that how can i get into HRIS field after my masters. There are no specific HRIS related courses at my university except one which is "HR and Technology".
I want to start early for my HRIS career. Do i need to do some courses / certificate in SAP HR, or Peoplesoft, or ORACLE HR. At the moment i dont have technical or programming background, but i am open to new learning. Do u think that i need to take IS courses and which courses should i take?
Thank you in advance.

Josh,
I quess my first comment regarding your goal to develop expertise in HRIS is which "package' you decide upon might be influenced by many factors
Do you have an industry segment that mosts interests you, like hospitality or healthcare, telecom or what. I would look to see which packages are most used in the sectors that excite you.
Since your background suggests that you are more interested in the business applications of MIS tools, I dont think you need to consider in-depth IS courses, unless you see your self as a techinical inplementation guru.
I would recommend that you track down some folks whose core work is in the various products you mentioned and have discussions on how they view the path for becoming an HRIS expert.
