The Civil Service Commission (CSC) urged leaders, managers, and human resource (HR) practitioners on Monday, July 3 to participate in the series of comprehensive learning and development (L&D) programs offered by the Civil Service Institute (CSI) this July. “As the training and development arm of the Commission, CSI offers an array of HR and organizational development programs aimed at harnessing the skills of leaders and HR practitioners in government," CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles said. "As persons in charge of the learning and development of civil servants in their respective agencies, it is important that they are technically proficient so they can become effective partners in building a professional and competent bureaucracy,” he added. The training program on Competency Based Human Resource System (CBHRMS) which will be held from July 11 to 18 will delve into the benefits, processes, and requirements of developing a CBHRMS. Attendees will gain insights into preparing a project proposal tailored to their respective organizations thru the blended learning approach. This approach uses a combination of micro-learning modules and facilitated group discussions. The CBHRMS workshop will also emphasize the system's benefits, features, and the necessary processes, practices, time, and resources required to develop, install, and implement it effectively. On July 12 to 14, the online Learning and Development Program will equip HR practitioners with the competencies needed to translate the Learning Needs Analysis results into an HR Development Plan. It will provide recommended learning and training interventions to support the pursuit of their respective organizations' strategic directions. Lastly, the two-day Learning Facilitation course, scheduled on 19-21 July, will enable L&D Practitioners to acquire essential facilitation skills, helping them effectively facilitate learning based on the Learning Cycle framework while handling various types of disruptive behavior. "We hope that more and more HRM Officers and practitioners will support our training programs, working together with the CSC in achieving our goal of Shaping the Servant-Hero toward Public Service Excellence,” said Chairperson Nograles. Participants who complete all the course requirements will receive a certificate of completion, acknowledging their accomplishment and granting them 16 leadership and managerial training hours.
