Did you know payroll services is Georgia’s fastest-growing industry since 2008’s Great Recession (ajc.com)? Add it up – this skill set is in high demand.

Complete PayTrain® Fundamentals and Mastery courses to earn a Payroll Professional Certificate.

When you work for one of the

world’s largest payroll providers, it’s more than just a numbers game. Just ask Natalia M. Higgins, whose role as a client account executive and passion for her field spurred her to enroll in PayTrain® Fundamentals.

“I felt that I was at a point in my career to learn the fundamentals of payroll,” she said. “It was important for me to have a better understanding of payroll practices in order to better support my clients and business unit.”

Her employer, ADP, is the world’s largest provider of business outsourcing and human capital management solutions. Natalia is responsible for building and maintaining strategic client relationships with ADP’s Vantage HCM product offerings. She said, “Payroll, time [and attendance], HR and benefits are integrated in a cloud-based solution. Our goal is for organizations to simplify their business challenges and drive performance with tangible outcomes and by leveraging our insightful expertise.”

“Significant” and “eye-opening” is how she describes the impact of PayTrain® Fundamentals. She said, “While one key goal of most organizations is to pay their employees timely and accurately, there is so

The course has given me a better understanding of the entire payroll administration, and I will be able to better understand and respond to my clients’ payroll needs with the knowledge I have attained.

much that happens behind the scenes. The course has given me a better understanding of the entire payroll administration, and I will be able to better understand and respond to my clients’ payroll needs with the knowledge I have attained.”

PayTrain® Fundamentals, along with PayTrain® Mastery, comprise the Payroll Professional Certificate program. Jennifer Henderson, KSU program manager, said, “In addition to in-depth training and knowledge our students gain from these courses, preparation for the Fundamental Payroll Certification and Certified Payroll Professional exams is another advantage of this program. To date, we have a 100% certification exam pass rate.” Natalia’s success on her FPC exam led to a promotion.

The PayTrain® Fundamentals and Mastery courses explore payroll concepts, accounting, recordkeeping, administration and more. “The instructor is well-versed in payroll and has extensive years of experience,” Higgins said. “The chapter lectures, quizzes, resources and online practice tests are the right tools to be successful in the course and when taking the American Payroll Association FPC exam.”

In addition to her drive, Higgins’ education at KSU has also played an important role in her career success.

Along with the FPC, she has a B.S. in Organizational Communication (2006), Professional in Human Resources certification (2009), and Executive MBA (2014). Higgins said, “I know the importance of having these credentials for my career as I grow in the Human Capital Management Industry.”

Natalia recommends this course for payroll professionals, regardless of experience. “There is always new information to learn. The class moves at a good pace and the tools and resources are very valuable,” she said. “If they are interested in developing themselves for career growth, the PayTrain® program is the way to go.”

TESOL Grad

Thriving In Japan KSU certificate serves as springboard to new adventure for graduate

E

Earning a professional certificate

can create many new opportunities. For TESOL graduate Morgan Attaway, it first helped her land a job teaching English in Atlanta.

It also provided her the skills to develop a curriculum for a new Training for International Educators program at KSU, which led to a trip to Israel.

She then embarked on her next great adventure — the Japanese Teaching & Exchange (JET) Program at her new home base of Obama City, Japan.

“It feels like I have lived here for years, while at the same time it seems like only yesterday I stepped off the plane in Tokyo,” Attaway said. “This fresh off the boat feeling is at its strongest when I am in the midst of giving what is called in Japanese the jiko shokai — better known as a self-introduction.”

Attaway’s first week in the classroom consisted solely of jiko shokai delivered to 11 different Japanese high school classes of varying English ability. Not only was she sharing her life story 11 times but she was doing so by being genki (happy, positive, energetic) for every delivery. “You quickly come to realize what works and what doesn’t,” she said.

“In my position, the jiko shokai are expected by my school, but you might be given the option of whether or not you would like to do one,” Attaway said. “I say do what feels right for the class. If you have some extra time, even just a few minutes, it can make all the difference in the world to help your students get to know you more as a person than just as an intimidating English machine.

Attaway has proven what continuing education, passion and desire can lead to. Are you the next Morgan Attaway?
