Bachelor of Arts Degree - Human Resource Management
The Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management is the natural extension of the Certificate, Diploma and Associate degree which the college has been offering for several years to the national and regional community.
Human Resource Management has been growing in importance globally, regionally, and in Trinidad and Tobago, over the recent past. The sourcing, training and management of one’s human resource is well known as a significant contributor to an organisation’s sustainability and the growth of its competitive edge. This growth is driven by the institutional need to recruit customer friendly and appropriately trained knowledge employees who can provide that advantage to their employers. This requirement prevails in both the private and public sectors. The latter sector currently engaged in a transformation process that requires human resource change management and organisational behaviour competencies that can improve the efficacy of our governmental institutions.
To achieve this competitive advantage, organisations are increasingly looking to human resource management at both the operational and strategic levels. A specialist HRM degree will therefore be of considerable benefit to anyone who is currently working in, or expects to work in, the area of human resource management.
This Bachelor degree in Human Resource Management programme will consist of 122 credits, 57 additional credit hours beyond the Associate of Arts degree (65 credits).
The primary purpose of the Bachelor of Arts in Human Resource Management is to:
- Provide students with the exposure to, and develop competencies in, the management of human resources as a critical asset to organisational success
- Develop and utilise an able and motivated workforce with which to accomplish the basic organisational goals
- Create facilities and opportunities for individual and/or group development in order to match it with the growth of the organisation.
- Attain an effective and optimal utilisation of human resources in the achievement of organisational goals
- Contribute to the reduction of socio-economic ills such as unemployment, under-employment, income inequalities and wealth distribution and to improve the welfare of the society by providing employment opportunities to citizens
- Provide facilities and guidance on conditions of work and how to create a favourable atmosphere for sustaining motivated employees
