Enhancing HR Career: Courses & Transitioning Tips for IT Industry

Hi,

I'm Hasini with close to 3 years of experience in HR, handling a generalist role (Post recruitment). I would like to know if there are any courses that can add value to my HR profile. I work for a BPO company. I have a background in Engineering and an MBA in HR. I started as a fresher and am about to complete 3 years. I am interested in transitioning to an IT company and working in the HR field. I would be grateful if anyone could provide information on available courses and guidance on entering the IT industry. Additionally, I am curious about the scope and growth opportunities beyond the recruitment role.

Thanks & Regards,
Hasini.

Since you are in an ITES company, you may transition into an IT company with this background. However, I do not visualize many opportunities for HR in IT companies besides recruitment and rewards. I suggest exploring roles in retail, manufacturing, or banking for a broader scope. Consider taking short-term courses in talent management, employee engagement, performance management, or soft skills development as these areas significantly impact business operations and employee relations.
