THE GOALS ARE:

  • To understand the relevance of training in improving performance.
  • To apply training and development practices of human performance to international settings
  • To collect and interpret data for improvement of human performance.
  • To design and implement research procedures to assist in the solution of industrial problems.
  • To apply the principles of strategic planning in supporting and coordinating human resource development and industrial training initiatives.

Hence, innovations, efficiency and success often occur from the careful analysis of the environment. This course is designed to expose students to recognize and overcome the numerous obstacles of today’s global market in coming up with realistic strategies for the HRD department.
