Who hires negotiators? While the job title may not be Negotiator, the skills learned in any competent CTPS program prepare the student to enter that world. Each union has negotiators, most of whom have other responsibilities as well. Each employer has negotiators, most of whom have other responsibilities, so the CTPS student simply gains one valuable competency that is applicable to many careers.
This is not to say that there aren't full-time negotiators; there are. A Contract Negotiator,[1] for example, is quite specialized and is quite suited for the CTPS student who is attracted to that work. They may be consultants or work for a consulting firm that is known as a third-party neutral because:
"It is their job to ensure that any contract is legally binding and mutually beneficial.
Contract Negotiators must possess a number of specialised skills; they must be diplomatic, have excellent negotiation skills and a good understanding of legal terminology, the principles of contract law and the techniques of contract formation. It is also important they be knowledgeable in the particular business the contract concerns, in order that they can properly advise the parties. Negotiators must come to a mutual agreement; one that meets the objectives of both parties."
Any CTPS student aspiring to this sort of career should work with the program advisor to negotiate courses such as Contract Law to count as electives, or earn a minor in pre-law.
