Description:

In a knowledge-based, globalized and open to change society, human resources are at the core of management as being the main factor of comparative sustainable advantage.

Only organisations that have managed to align their human resource policies with their business strategy, integrate personnel and technologies, attract and retain the best talent, develop the potential of employees, involve teams in objectives, create performance oriented cultures and ensure a high level of quality in the professional lives of staff will be able to succeed.

The answer to these challenges is a shared responsability of managers and human resources technicians, all levels of strategic decision and all of those that coordinate all levels of work teams. As a shared responsability, managing people is more than a staff activity, it is a set of complementary skills of all areas of management.

Who is it aimed for:

Human Resource managers and technicians;
Entrepreneurs, managers and senior staff at companies or other organisations, who seek to update or further their knowledge in this area.

Testimonials:

Taking this course was the right decision. I learned how to "climb a step" and that has made me a different professional!

Participating in the Advanced Program in Human Resources was a most enriching experience.

After considerable research, I found a very appealing program, and it was precisely what I was looking for. A course taught on Saturdays, by modules and with lecturers who are both very experienced from an academical point of view, as well as very connected to the work developed in companies and in real-life context. It was what I looking for, for a long time and CATÓLICA-LISBON made it possible.

My expectations were largely exceeded. The course is very well structured and each module has provided me with tools and skills that have been very useful for my day to day as an HR manager.

I will always remember the good atmosphere created amongst participants, lecturers and the great hospitality provided by CATÓLICA-LISBON at all times.

Participating in the Advanced Program in Human Resources was a very enriching experience. It was undoubtedly an added value and a great contribution to the challenge that is today the management of people, not only for the possibility of acquiring new knowledge, new skills but also for the networking. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the entire faculty.

My participation in the Advanced Program in Human Resources was an interesting opportunity to revisit and consolidate concepts associated with the management of human capital, as well as to share new ideas and experiences on the daily life of these subjects with colleagues from different companies and sectors of activity. The excellence of the teaching staff and the focus on the state of the art topics enriched the learning and brought added value contributions to the performance of my duties, both as a consultant and as a team manager.

I participated in the 21st edition of the Advanced Program in Human Resources, following an internal mobility process. Since I was not from the Human Resources area, I found in the program all the essential characteristics to accelerate my adaptation process, as well as content about all the areas of intervention of a Human Resources manager. I also underline the excellence and dedication of the teaching staff, whose sharing and experience were fundamental for the assimilation of themes studied.

My participation in PARH was the ideal choice in the moment of my professional route where I felt the needed to evolve.

While having diverse academic backgrounds and sectors of activity in class, the program gave us the possibility to interact with each other in a context that was very conducive to learning, greatly facilitating the integration of the knowledge transmitted by teachers.

I highly value the dynamism and innovation of Human Resources content and themes developed in the sessions, the attention to detail that the professors and the staff of UCP demonstrate at all times towards participants, as well as the high professional and academic experience of the teachers.

Therefore, I strongly recommend PARH attendance, for those who want to be in contact with the latest references of the best that is being done in this field nowadays, both at the academic and practice levels.

This program allowed me not only to consolidate the knowledge and skills needed for the daily management of human resources, but also the acquisition of new tools and concepts extended to other areas of business, mainly operational, giving me an overview of the value creation process added in the business world. This view, focused on the optimization and enhancement of the participation and accountability of people in everyday corporate life, is evermore more important due to the turbulent times and the current economic situation. My thanks to all teaching staff and support structure by the quality of support provided. This is definitely a “do not miss” program.

I attended "PATH" as an HR passionate, that was not working in specific in this area. The network of expert teachers was inspiring to me. All discussed topics have awakened me for the strategic vision of HR Management in today's changing world. Not to forget, the influence of other participants rich experiences was also very beneficial for me. Today I have the privilege of work in L'Oréal Human Resources. I consider that "PARH" was a turning point and an accelerator in my professional life.

When I finished my degree in Management at this School, soon I realized that the knowledge I gained made determined my entry and made it a lot easier into the ever so demanding labor market. Ten years later, I understood that attending PARH was interesting and very useful. Actually it allowed me to develop knowledge, acquired in the meanwhile, consolidating concepts and contacting the trends and transformation of the environment and the importance of human resources in the management of different business activities.

Attending the Advanced Program in Human Resources gave me the opportunity to deepen and debate with all the participants, students and teachers, the current state of Human Resources. By strongly encouraging networking among all participants, the Advanced Program in Human Resources has also enabled me to get acquainted with the realities and contexts of other colleagues and, together with the content addressed, to develop additional skills in my own reality.
