Over the past one week, we have been looking frantically for a qualified HR specialist for a budding company. Very regularly also, when I go out for speaking engagements, I find one or more of the participants asking me how they can become HR specialists. I usually give them a brief answer about volounteering to gain experience and also registering with CIPM for now, and that there is something we are working on, that would be available for them soon. Well, the time is ripe now, and we now have developed a course to help all those HR wannabe’s to become HR specialists. It’s unfortunate that none of our Universities offers this course, but you don’t have to worry anymore, we have a course that can take you from rookie to very knowledgeable in 4 days. During this course, you will be interacting with top HR Professionals (Managers and Directors) from different industries who will be facilitating different modules.
What is the Content?
This course will involve different modules of HR knowledge areas and best practices in- Talent Management, Performance management, compensation and benefits, policies and procedures, Learning and Development, Organizational Excellence, Employee Relations, HR Competitive Advantage, HR roles, HR Career path e.t.c. It will also involve case studies on how HR can add value. All participants will get an HR MBA (Methods Becoming Actions) Certificate upon successfully completing the course. Participants will also leave with 6 months free subscription of RECHARGE, and other interesting packages.
When is it holding?
The course will be taking off on February 17th, the course will hold on the 17th and 18th and on the next weekend which is February, 24th and 25th. It will involve assignments, case studies, team work and lots of fun and participative learning innitiatives.

Keep giving the green light Deolu, some of us are learning faster than yopu think.
