Although the focus of this course is the study of how adults develop throughout a lifetime, the course purpose is to build a solid foundation upon which to live out our vastly changing lives as individuals, workers, and caregivers. This is done within the context of adult development theory. The human being possesses an innate desire to understand oneself and to define the unique contribution each of us represents in the universe. Adult roles today grow evermore challenging as the world accelerates the rate and breadth of change. Our commitments and contributions are tied to perceptions and understandings and these must keep up with the rippling tides of change. Towards that end, this course explores human contribution through the perspective of the changing world. This course is specifically designed to help adults expand their perceptions of adult development and learning through a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own life journey as they study a wide range of theories of Adult Development.

Those who hold positions in HR recognize the need to understand all facets of what the organization needs in talent management as well as how to recruit, properly compensate, train, retain, and evaluate. Additionally, they need to be skilled in selling these concepts to managers in their organization and impressing them with the value that proper workings of human resource management bring to the individual, the team, the department, and the organization as a whole.
Therefore, the purpose of this course is both to provide adult learners with foundational knowledge of the human resource management functions and to explore contemporary issues in the field.- Teacher: Tye Lawson- Beard
