Project Guide:
Project title:
The title of your research should explain in sufficient detail what you are doing. Therefore the project title should be well-defined and concise that describes the chosen project. The abstract is supposed to be a quick summary of your project and it is generally a paragraph or two in length.

This must start with a background of selected topic; the relevant literature identified and give reviews of background reading. Students are expected to review/evaluate the literature in comparison with their project tasks. The literature review must include a clear statement of approach to be taken to solve the problem with reference to the background reading. Keep in mind the following questions.
What kinds of research have been done before?
What relevant kinds of studies or techniques need to be mastered to do your project?
Where is the state of the art today?
How have others gone about trying to solve problems you want to tackle, and in what ways will your approach build on and vary from previous work?
Research questions:
Well-thought-out and focused questions that identifies the phenomenon to be studied.
Research objectives:
Steps you are going to take to answer your research questions or a specific list of tasks needed to accomplish the aim of the project.
Proposed methodology:
Select methodologies to answer the research questions. The reason for choosing the particular methodology must be justified properly.
Bibliography:
All citations in the literature review section should be mentioned in bibliography, but not all in the bibliography is important enough to be mentioned in the literature review. In other words, this section is a comment on the most valuable material you have identified which you will need to assimilate to do your project. Please refer to the Writing Manual by Center of Academic Writing.
Timeline:
The realistic timeline (plan) of the project helps to minimize any interruption to the project activities. Timeline is a step by step guide to the stages of the research over the time period. Develop a Gantt chart to achieve this.

3000 words Human Resource Development assignment
Please answer only ONE of the following questions:

1. Examine how strategic approaches to HRD can help address the challenges for skills formation and human capacity building in organizations, especially in developing countries’ contexts. Illustrate your reasoning by reference to key model(s) of strategic HRD. Your discussion should also be situated in specific regional or national context.
2. Critically evaluate how a country’s educational policies, institutional systems and governance frameworks impact on the processes of National HRD (NHRD) and skills development. Provide policy suggestions that could help enhance NHRD policy planning and improve human resource capabilities within your chosen context. Your discussion should show deliberation about theoretical definitions of NHRD and practical approaches to human development priorities within that country.
3. Critically examine the concept of social capital and explain its significance in HRD planning both at organisational and national levels.
4. Evaluate critically the concept of knowledge management and explain its potential contributions to developing organizations’ competitiveness in a knowledge-driven globalising world.
5. Explain critically the concept of talent development and evaluate how the concept of talent management (TM) can help improve the performance and capabilities of an organization’s human resources. Consider whether TM is consistent with ethical principles of inclusiveness and valuing diversity embedded in human development philosophy.
6. Basing your analysis on a key human capabilities writer (for example Sen, Nussbaum etc.) explain how the concepts of human development and HRD are interlinked, and discuss the implications of these linkages to the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
