The Innovation in Society Unit based within the Lancashire Law School at the University of Central Lancashire has entered into a Knowledge Transfer arrangement with the Institute of Recruiters - IOR to develop a capability and training needs analysis model that will form the basis of educational and professional training for the recruitment industry.
The Institute of Recruiters is heading up a new initiative aiming to further professionalise the recruitment industry through the development of a membership organisation.  Among its many activities, this body will work with university partners to develop a suite of certificates covering the key knowledge areas needed for recruiters. These courses, together with an international programme of Continuing Professional Development, will create a rigorous scheme of education and training for recruiters that will be backed by high standards of pedagogy and research. This will include specialist routes to qualifications in HR, agency recruitment and corporate (in-house) recruitment.

The University of Central Lancashire is going global – and is evolving every minute of every day. They are now one of the largest universities in the UK with a student and staff community of more than 35,000 students, 500 undergraduate courses and 180 postgraduate courses – and it’s not stopping there.

uclan was only created in 1992 but its roots go way back to 1828 and the humble beginnings of the founding of the ‘Institution for the Diffusion of Knowledge’. From this small acorn, the university has propelled itself into becoming a major player, both at home and across the world.

Around 70 percent of uclan’s students come from the North West and the University is proving to be a vital heartbeat to the region’s booming regeneration. It employs 3,000 people, has a turnover of £120m a year and contributes £300m to the regional economy.
The University is in the heart of the UK’s newest city, Preston, and is a key element in the shaping of this exciting city’s bright future.
