LEARNING and qualifications provider DMS in Co Down has been appointed by the Irish Civil Service to deliver a range of CIPD programmes, working across 13 different government departments.

The company, established in 1999, worked with representatives from the Civil Service to ensure that the units and modules chosen for study were aligned with the key strategic drivers from the People Strategy, which included being recognised as an employer of choice, building the workforce of the future, and positioning HR as a strategic driver.

The selected units and modules will enable candidates to reflect on their everyday roles and draw on their experiences as they explore a diverse range of Human Resource topic areas.

Lynn Carson, managing director at DMS, said: “I’m delighted to see that HR is positioned as an effective driver to implement the Irish Civil Service People Strategy.

"Our company is committed to supporting the professionalisation of HR and to the continuous professional development of our candidates.

"We work with each of them to enhance their knowledge and develop behaviours that will enable them to advance in their HR career, while adding value to their organisation."

Based in Bangor, DMS Ireland has offices and associates working throughout Ireland as well as mainland UK, and its consultants have extensive experience across the private, public and voluntary sector.
