Build HR skills and portfolio to stand out early.

Start with the basics: what HR actually does, how different HR roles fit together, and how the employee lifecycle works from attract to retain.

You'll also learn how to approach an HR problem when you don't already know the answer — a skill you'll use throughout the rest of the program.

Learn how policies shape everyday employee decisions — from leave and attendance to workplace conduct and performance.

You'll practice reading HR policies critically, spotting unclear rules, and understanding the basic compliance considerations an early-career HR professional should know.

Why would someone want to work here?

Learn how companies shape their employer reputation, understand what different talent audiences care about, and turn that into clearer employer messaging and candidate communication.

Learn the fundamentals of moving from “we need to hire someone” to a structured hiring process.

You'll explore job requirements, CV screening, candidate evaluation, structured interviews, and where AI can make recruitment faster without replacing human judgment or fairness.

What happens after someone says yes?

Learn how to map the employee experience from offer acceptance through the first months at work, identify common friction points, and design a more structured onboarding experience.

Employee feedback is easy to collect. Knowing what to do with it is harder.

Learn the basics of listening to employees through surveys, conversations, and other feedback channels — and how to separate an isolated comment from a pattern worth investigating.

Training isn't always the answer.

Learn how to identify a capability gap, understand what might actually be causing it, and decide what kind of learning or development intervention makes sense.

Learn how employee goals connect to what a team or business is actually trying to achieve.

You'll explore the basics of performance goals, feedback, and measurement — including how to move from vague expectations to clearer, more useful goals.

Why do people stay, leave, or disengage?

Learn how to explore a people problem using basic HR data and employee feedback — without jumping to conclusions from one metric or one anecdote.

You'll practice looking for patterns, asking better questions, and turning findings into practical next steps.

Bring the program together through a realistic HR case.

You'll be given a people-related business problem and asked to work through it from start to finish: understand the situation, identify what matters, use evidence, consider the people impact, and turn the problem into a clear plan.
