Rationale


Training skills development offers an organisation’s workforce the opportunity to cultivate their skills, enhance their knowledge and therefore, improve their performance and productivity in their current positions or their future career development. The aim of this course is to provide students the means to create a training and development plan as future HR practitioner and also highlight the co-dependence between the terms: productivity, motivation and training and indicate how such training developments add value to the employees’ community. Consequently, the Human Resource department, considering both the current needs of the organisation and the employee’s desire for self-improvement, takes the role of the learning facilitator, formulating continuous training plans. In this way, it invests on its people, orient and motivate them through their career paths, while at the same time it improves the company’s productivity and image.
