Class Advanced Human Resource Management Practices

This UC focuses on the practical aspects of strategic management of human resources, favoring talent management as a reference methodology for valuing people in organizations and realizing their full potential. Throughout the semester, the UC intends to achieve its pedagogical objectives through the articulation between the participation of reference guests from the organizational world, and the realization of a project with a real organization. In this way, students have the opportunity to engage directly with the community, contributing to the transfer of knowledge between universities and organizations.
