It is a comprehensive, relevant and highly interactive co-curricular experience aimed at providing students with the “behavioural tools” that would enable them to close the gap between the social/workplace skills that they may not have, and those required for success and prominence in today’s dynamic organisations. Upon completion, students will exhibit the confidence, diplomacy, courtesy and poise that undoubtedly contribute to a strong professional presence.

Special Regulations for the Certificate in Public Sector Human Resource Management (“Summer” Programme Only) 1. The intention of this programme is to sensitize lower level managers within the public sector, and even the private sector to some of the changes taking place within the public sector and hopefully, to equip them to face these changes. 2. In recent years, the public sectors in the Caribbean, as elsewhere, have been involved in attempts at administrative reform. 3. A critical focus of this “new management philosophy” is human resource management. Indeed the new thrust is increasingly a change from what was traditionally regarded as personnel administration to what is now perceived as a question of the proper management of human resources. This has necessitated a fundamental restructuring of the various units involved in human resource management within the local and regional public services. Duration 4. Approximately two (2) academic years (over three (3) “Summers”) Target Audience 5. The programme will prove useful particularly to public servants at the levels of Administrative Officer IIs, Cadets, Administrative Assistants and Clerk IVs as well as Supervisors of equivalent status. 6.

The Faculty may use its discretion in accepting candidates who do not satisfy the requirements mentioned above but who are deemed capable of doing the standard of work required for the Certificate.
