COMPETENCY-BASED HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT (www.itcilo.org/CBHRD)

As their titles suggest, the Competency-Based Programmes “Training of Trainers (TOT)” and “Human Resources Management (HRM)”, share a conceptual framework rooted in the paradigm of job

competencies. This paradigm, which has multiple applications, is closely connected with inter-related international

strategies:

ILO Recommendation No. 195 concerning human resources development (2004), especially as regards

the involvement and participation of the social partners in identifying, promoting and recognizing

competencies as a means of facilitating education, training, lifelong learning and employability through

policy measures aimed at creating decent jobs and achieving sustainable economic and social development;

the concept of decent work, coined by the ILO, which summarizes and encapsulates the aspirations of

individuals concerning their working life;

the Millennium Development Goals, especially that of developing a global partnership for development,

and the point stressing the design and implementation of strategies to give young people dignified,

productive work;

the Global Compact, especially when it refers to human rights and working conditions;

ISO standards in the 9000, 14000 and 18000 series, in which the importance given to human resources

as a factor in good quality or safety management is apparent.

Methodology The Competency-Based Programmes “Training of Trainers (TOT)” and “Human Resources Management (HRM) will enable you to take advantage of the potential of INTERNET to learn and broaden your competencies in the field of training and human resources management.

The learning approach adopted in these Programmes will offer you an opportunity to:

define personal learning paths;

organize your time and decide autonomously when to study; decide how many hours per day or per week you will invest in learning;

take part in a virtual network of training professionals and establish relationships with

advisors/consultants in your organisation, other national institutions and with professionals from

other countries.

Learning Assessment and Certification Learning assessment and individual attainment of competence levels are common to all competence units. Each module provides the necessary specifications for drawing up a proposal for putting what you have learned into practice, as well as a portfolio of evidences.

You will have an individual ‘learning portfolio’ in which learning outcomes are registered. After successfully completing a module, you will receive a competence certificate issued by the ICT ILO.

Registration and Enrollment You can register in the Programmes twice a year. The deadlines for registration are 30 May and 30 September.

The learning process will start in June and October, respectively. The enrollment includes:

1. Registering in the HRD e-learning campus (www.itcilo.org/CBHRD);

2. Selecting one or more competence units and corresponding modules described in the section “Programmes” of the e-learning campus;

3. Completing your on-line “Profile” and submit it;

4. Finalizing the payment procedures for the module you have selected.

The participation cost covers the access to the e-learning campus and the selected module as well as the support services including: tutoring, virtual library, collaborative learning and networking.
