Thinking About Pursuing an LLB and Diploma in Labour Law? Seeking Career Advice and Opportunities

santnikita
I have 6 years of experience in a generalist profile of HR. I want to pursue a Diploma in Labour Law & Welfare and then complete an LLB. Please guide me regarding this decision and inform me about the career opportunities it may offer.

Thanks in advance,

Why pursue a diploma in LLB? Joining a regular LLB program is sufficient to establish your career in HR. If you have an LLB degree, you may already feel you are ahead of those with an HR MBA. Remember to work hard on understanding laws and their implications in the HR field.

Best of luck.

As HRKpati said, if you pursue an LLB with Labour Laws as your optional/specialization, there is no need to do a diploma in Labour Laws again. Since employer-employee relations, day-to-day labour or employee administration, industrial relations, and statutory compliances are part of HR, knowledge of Labour Laws provides you with a clear understanding of the subject and helps you effectively discharge this part of the HR function.

In my opinion, obtaining an LL.B., MBA (HR), or MHRM (Post Graduation Course) is very beneficial for understanding organizational culture and labor laws.

Understanding LLB and Diploma in Labour Laws

LLB is an introduction to our entire legal system and basic laws. Labour Law can be taken as a special interest subject while doing LLB. On the other hand, a Diploma in Labour Laws is a focused approach to the study of only Labour Laws and their application in practical usage.

Aligning Your Career Goals

Now, what you need to do is first answer yourself. Start by identifying your career goals and the type of job profile you see yourself in. Once you know what you want, invest your time and efforts in that direction. Remember, never invest a lot of time and hard work only to later find yourself in a position where you are unable to utilize even 20% of what you have learned. It's better to invest time in aligning your goals and finding what will work best for you. Degrees alone will not get you jobs; the application and relevance of them will.

Good luck.

You can proceed as desired. A Diploma in Labour Law enlightens you regarding all Labour Law provisions, while an LLB study sheds light on general law. Both are required for HR personnel.

What's your basic UG degree? For an HR career to start with, a Diploma in Labour Law & Social Welfare is good enough. Perhaps you are tempted by this short-term course compared to an LL.B., which may take 3-4 years. Of course, an LL.B. can be a prerequisite degree for some positions, but Personnel Officer/Labour Officer roles might require a basic UG degree with a Diploma in Labour Law & Administrative Law with Social Welfare or an MBA that can be studied part-time or through correspondence. However, an LL.B. is an added advantage that cannot be studied part-time.

I have completed an MBA in HR & Admin from IGNOU. In my opinion, an LLB is more useful compared to a Diploma in Labour Laws and Welfare in my case.
