Honours in Human Resource Management

Who is this qualification for?

The Bachelor Honours Degree in Human Resource Management is designed to equip students with a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of key human resource concepts, techniques and issues required for employment and wealth creation in Namibia. This is the response to the challenges for a National Human Resource Plan in Namibia while responding to Namibia’s Human Capital Development demands projected in Namibia’s National Human Resources Planning Report of 2010-2025, chapter 1:19.  The Government of the Republic of Namibia (GRN) adopted a long-term perspective plan namely Vision 2030. This national economic blue print serves as a basis for planning Namibia’s future. Vision 2030 envisages Namibia transitioning into an industrialised and globally competitive country of equal opportunities, realising its maximum growth potential in a sustainable manner, with improved quality of life for everyone. In order to achieve this goal, Namibia needs to develop human capital as well as institutional capacity to train people needed to meet the envisioned demand of the Namibian human capital development. Developing human capital especially in the field of human resource is not a sole responsibility of the government but specifically for educational institutions. The corporate world, both private and public, has a social responsibility of complementing government efforts in the development of the requisite human resource skills toward a knowledge driven society.
