What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate or graduate student might consider?
Kaiser actually has an intern program where they are hiring interns. They are assigned to different areas in the organization.
In the past, we've had interns work under human resources. If they had a strong interest in compliance, recruitment, or even being an HR consultant working with union and management staff, they would shadow and help out in those departments. This exposure provides a look at the day-to-day life in those areas.
For compliance specifically, the entry-level position is compliance coordinator. These roles typically involve data entry and some analytics. It's mainly a data entry position focused on learning about document intake and classification.
For those in college, the internship position would be a great opportunity to get your feet wet in the different aspects of human resources.
