SUMMARY:
This course will teach HR professionals, and those looking to start a career in HR, the soft and hard skills to deliver business results through a strong and engaged workforce. If you are as confident looking at the big picture as dealing with details, you’ll enjoy this busy, multi-tasking job, with a clear career path that will see you making strategic decisions that have a lasting impact on an organisation’s culture.
You’ll learn the skills of effective recruitment and selection, training and development, and establishing robust systems. You will also gain the knowledge, strategies, and techniques needed to keep every member of a team engaged, productive, and feeling valued. You’ll also come away with a very thorough and reliable working knowledge of employment rights, the importance of proper procedures and effective methods for dealing with performance issues and workplace disputes.
Human resources is a rewarding career that balances strategic and functional responsibilities. HR professionals play a pivotal role in any organisation, as they are advocates for both the business and its employees.
Learners taking part in this course will now have access to the EBSCO Online Library, free of charge, for the full duration of the course. Here you can browse thousands of relevant journal articles and other reliable academic and commercial texts like the Harvard Business Review, Bloomberg Business week and Forbes Magazine, to supplement your learning and assignments.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
Human resources is a dynamic area that offers a wide range of opportunities and excellent career progression. You may choose to work in a general HR role or specialise in a particular area (recruitment or training, for example). You can even focus within areas of specialisation (becoming a technical recruiter, for example) so it’s possible to tailor a career to suit both your passions and skills.
ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION
The Professional Academy Diploma in Human Resources is assessed through written assessments - a learning log which you will keep during the course, and a case-study project to be submitted after the end of the course.
Your UCD Professional Academy Diploma will be issued electronically on a secure platform, with a link that you can share with employers and others wishing to verify your credentials. You’ll also be able to add the certification to your LinkedIn profile to demonstrate your achievement to your network as well as recruiters and potential employers searching for individuals with your skills and experience.
This course is not on the National Framework of Qualifications.
