About this Programme

Across the GCC, nations are striving to accelerate the development of nationals in order to support their economic and social development. HR is both an enabler of these objectives and is part of the process. The function must play its part in delivering the national strategies and must accelerate the development of its own local talent to enhance the capability for the future.

Building on the success of previous sessions, CRF’s HR Business Partnering Accelerator Programme supports the development of emerging HR professionals by offering the skills and career boost they need to fast-track into senior HR roles. 

Who Should Attend?

The programme is aimed at emerging HR professionals, who are looking to accelerate their careers into HR leadership positions in the next 1-3 years. Participants will typically hold a business or HR related qualification and have 3-5 years of HR experience to date.
