Workforce Planning Process - Carlow / Wicklow / Wexford

This programme is designed to provide a postgraduate qualification in Workforce Planning Process that complements strategic business planning. Participants will learn to implement appropriate plans in response to proposed objectives by linking strategic and operational activities and providing a clear line of sight in terms of performance goals and required outcomes.

This is a practice-based programme covering the development of action plans. It considers ‘what’ to do and ‘how’ to do it, through building an integrated workforce planning approach. In doing so, learners will explore how to integrate all HR functions into business planning, including recruitment, appraisals, rewards, and development. Through an applied approach, participants will study the practical models, tools and techniques required to respond to challenges and improve service delivery. This involves analysis and conversion of data into relevant usable information.

The learner will predominately use SETU Carlow’s Virtual Learning Environment to complete all lessons
