Implications for the design of Human Resource Management - Education, training, and certification

The articles in this issue suggest that Human Resource Management (HRM) educators need to seriously consider questions of what to tench, when to tench it, who should teach it, and to whom. The discussion in this article focuses on these questions and concludes that HRM education can and should address varied content areas, assist HR professionals in effectively interacting with the broader environment, occur at multiple points in individual's careers, and be delivered by a variety of sources. No single approach to HRM education is likely to meet the varied needs of today's HRM professional. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
