COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION CURRICULUM FOR HR PROFESSIONALS
COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION CURRICULUM FOR HR PROFESSIONALS

Summary/Abstract: This paper describes a competency framework for design of a competency-based curriculum for dual postgraduate HRM education at the Institute for Sociological, Political and Juridical Research, within the University “Ss. Cyril and Methodius”. The competency is much more than just knowledge and skills. It involves ability to meet complex demands, by drawing and mobilizing personal traits (including abilities, values and attitudes/ behaviour) in a particular context. The concept of key competencies has become a vital component in the vocabulary of educational policy-makers and reformers and the question of assessing and measuring the output of educational processes is a discussion topic that triggers keen interest all over the globe. Human resource management (HRM) must meet higher expectations that confront contemporary organizations and the HR profession should be upgraded. HR professionals must not only observe, but also understand and adapt to the changing business conditions and business trends. HR professionals are expected to contribute by the competencies they possess. HR practices must become more integrated, aligned, and innovative. HR professionals with the right competencies will be more likely to engage employees, to serve customers, and to create intangible shareholder wealth.
