Dear Seniors,
I am presently working as an Executive HR in a glass manufacturing industry. I have a B.Ed (Regular) degree and then took up teaching as a career for around 1 year. I was a teacher. I am showing my B.Ed qualification in my resume. I have a PG diploma in HR and am presently pursuing an MBA (HR) through distance mode. Please advise me on whether I should show my B.Ed degree in my resume and also include my experience as a teacher.
Please guide me.

Dear pankaj_po,
Yes, you can show your B.Ed degree in your academic qualifications and PG and MBA in your professional qualifications. However, in terms of relevant experience in HR, your professional qualifications would be considered, and not your teaching job. Teaching experience could be considered in total experience, but not in relevant experience.

Dear Katyana,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I have one more doubt in this regard. I think B.Ed is also considered a professional degree course, so why should it not be shown under the professional qualifications? Also, please suggest to me if teaching experience gained in a school or college matches with the Training & Development (under the HR dept) of the industries. I have a job opening where they are looking for the candidate mainly for Training and Development.

Dear pankaj_po,
The term professional degree is used for degrees in MEDICINE, MANAGEMENT, AND ENGINEERING. You have mentioned that you are pursuing an MBA, so it falls under the category of a professional degree. Teaching experience is considered relevant in the academic field but not in HR.
Teaching experience gained in schools and colleges may not be considered relevant in TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT. If you are looking to specialize in T&D, consider enrolling in an ISTD course.
Thank you.

Dear Katyana,
Thank you for enlightening me on a very important matter. I now have a clear understanding of this issue. Kindly provide more information about the ISTD course as I am very interested in pursuing a career in Training and Development. Additionally, please advise if pursuing LLB at this point would also be a good option.

Dear Katyana,
I browsed through the website of ISTD, and the procedure for this course has already started. The last date for applying is 31st May 08. I am in a fix - what should I do? Should I go for LLB, with admission in Aug 08, or should I join ISTD? Please advise me. I am currently working in Roorkee, Uttarakhand state. Previously, there were no industries here, but now, due to some tax benefits, many industries are emerging, mainly manufacturing industries with minor units (few big companies are also present). I am uncertain whether ISTD will be useful for me in the long run, but I believe pursuing LLB would be a significant advantage.
Kindly guide me. I appreciate your time and assistance.

Hi Pankaj,
I have also completed my B.Ed. This, in a way, helps me understand certain aspects of teaching. However, when it comes to training (I would personally prefer calling this function "facilitating"), there are some basic but significant differences:
1) In the case of adult learning, the strategy should be more in tune with discussions, interactivity, role-plays, etc.
2) Here, the facilitator should be able to relate the activity to the needs/objectives of the program.
So, if you ask me, B.Ed. does not directly enhance soft skills training; however, it does help alleviate certain aspects like each individual's perception or understanding of things.
Have a nice day!

Dear Sujata,
Thanks for your response. Now I can make out the difference between B.Ed and ISTD. Here in corporate, we are dealing with matured and adult participants, whereas in schools, we deal with children who have a prescribed curriculum to be taught to them. I think only some aspects of the B.Ed course could be useful in training in HR, like the technology of teaching. Any light on this, you are most welcome.

Dear Pankaj ji,
As our friends say, the B.Ed. degree will be considered for academic qualifications. Some universities offer BA (MANAGEMENT) courses. If you were to choose such courses, your B.Ed. may be useful. However, my advice is don't stop at B.Ed.; go further up to M.Phil.

Dear Seniors,
I am presently working as an Executive HR in the Telecom industry in Himachal Pradesh. I have completed a B.Ed (Regular) degree and then pursued a teaching career for around 1 year. I also hold a PG diploma in HR and am currently pursuing an MBA in HR through distance learning. However, I am now considering pursuing an LLB, but I am facing some confusion. I am unable to leave my current job due to some personal reasons. Therefore, I seek guidance on where I can pursue LLB while continuing with my job. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated as the current session is ongoing.

Dear All,
Yes, definitely an LL.B. degree is an added advantage for HR professionals. For decent and fast growth, it helps you a lot. Moreover, there are very few professionals available with this combination. My own case is a good example; I have done my LL.B. and MBA-HR immediately after B.Com (Hons.). With 2+ years of experience, I am heading the HR Department of a reputed company.

Dear Pankaj,
I agree with Katyana about B.Ed as an academic qualification and PG diploma and MBA degree as professional qualifications. I do wish you all the best for your courses/degree, whichever you choose.
However, there is one aspect that I would like to discuss here - How can the experience of a Teacher be disregarded or seen as irrelevant when it comes to HR?
I mean, HR is about Payroll, Admin, Training... and a whole lot about "People Management"!
I feel this skill is not limited to Management Trainees only. A mere degree or certificate would not qualify one to handle people's emotions. Being a teacher has already given you the much-needed insight into the vast range of human emotions. Having dealt with students of various intellects and psyches, you are certainly equipped with a few aspects of "Employee relations" such as conflict management, identification of training needs, employee (student) engagement, counseling, motivation and retention, performance optimization, channelizing negative emotions, and so on...
It's all about how you perceive what you have learned. HR learning is not limited to Business schools. It continues long after you have left those nostalgic campuses and are atop the chart of your organization.
My observation - In joint families of days not so distant, matriarchs and patriarchs of the families would use all rules of the books that we now study to keep their families divided or together, not all of them were educated! What's your say?

Hi Pankaj,
Katyana may be an experienced and distinguished member, but I am not inclined to agree with him. A BEd will help you understand the psychology of students, whether they are in school or college. Understanding the masses is important in HRM, especially if you are heading the department. Understanding individuals and methods of assessing them will be learned by you only if you do a course in psychology, a part of which you have done in BEd. Doing an MBA will help you understand various managerial applications and convert theory into practice. An LLB gives you very good general awareness of many areas, not only the legal aspects, which is also beneficial for an HR practitioner. So, do not worry about your academic profiles, but think about how you can use what you have learned in theory in your official life, routine work, or even in personal life as a real practitioner. Then you will become a good manager. That's what I practice, and I feel that I am quite successful in my profession and personal life.
Thanks,
