The HR Launchpad 2026 is not just another seminar; it is a 4-week operational bootcamp designed to bridge the gap between "knowing" HR and "doing" HR.
Tailored specifically for career transitioners and early-career professionals, this program strips away abstract theory to focus on the tangible, day-to-day execution of Human Resources in the Nigerian context. From calculating PAYE tax manually to drafting legally compliant offer letters and using AI for admin efficiency, participants will leave with a "plug-and-play" skillset that makes them employable immediately.
Participants will engage in:
Live workshops and interactive sessions.
Case studies and real-world simulations.
Networking opportunities with industry professionals.
