Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Planning and Development
THE PROGRAMME
Advanced Diploma programme conducted by Institute of Applied Manpower Research is unique in its approach in assisting middle and junior level personnel of the Government, parastatals, private sector and academic institutions currently working or who are likely to work in the future in planning for human resources. As planning is inevitably bound with projection and forecasting, it requires sound knowledge of these techniques in the area of economic, educational and social development. However, there is no formal degree education for planners and they are left groping in the dark as to how to deal with issues of strategic importance. The programme aims at filling this lacunae, by providing a firm grounding in the core areas of planning and development of Human Resource with focus on providing a holistic perspective, problem solving skills and adding value to self as well as to the organization.
