Human Capital Institute Certificate Programs Launched in South Africa

Washington D.C. ñ The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a think tank, professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and Sandton International Business School (SIBS), the first privately owned Black Economically Empowered Business School in South Africa, announced today an agreement to provide HCIís Human Capital Management certificate programs in South Africa and beyond. SIBS will launch the program at their Sandton Campus in Johannesburg, and expects to offer courses shortly thereafter at other venues around South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Seychelles and Zambia.

This is a pivotal moment in the history of the Human Capital Institute, said David Forman, HCIís Chief Learning Officer. Our Human Capital Management Principles program has been praised in the US as a means for jump-starting a talent mindset in executives and HR practitioners. This collaboration marks our first success in taking this powerful curriculum overseas. We look forward to helping African organizations ensure their competitive success in todayís knowledge economy.

Both core and specialized talent management programs will be included in the SIBS curriculum. The foundation of the program will be the Human Capital Management Principles course, which integrates the full spectrum of talent management functions: strategic planning, acquiring, developing, deploying, retaining and evaluating human capital. In addition, the program will include HCIís series of online courses and future HCI educational programs, as they become available.

Human Capital Management is a new business discipline that demands education far beyond re-treaded HR courses disguised with a new name, said Jeff Sacht, Sandtonís Program Director-Human Capital Management, Our search for an impactive and innovative Human Capital program for the school led us squarely to the Human Capital Institute. HCIís curriculum is light years ahead of other programs in terms of its integrated approach and real-world methodology.
