 • Overview

Certificate In Public Sector Human Resource Management

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.

In recent years, the public sectors in the Caribbean, as elsewhere, have been involved in attempts at administrative reform.

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.
