The Institute of Advance Management and Technology (IAMTECT) last Friday launched their Human Resource Management Students’ Association (HUREMSA) and opened a canteen to serve the students.
Speaking on the theme for the launch: “The role of HRM in the socio-economic development of Sierra Leone” the principal of the school Abi Paula-Kamara said the association has started on a good footing and argued that the institution’s new program is not available in any other tertiary institution.
The principal said “the need for human resource managers in the country is great because there is need to manage resources both human and material” She said Human Resource Management “will be studied as a specialty not just as a module among other programs”.
The guest speaker at the program Joseph Brima of the Human Resource Management Office Sierra Leone described the launch of the Human Resource Management course as “a step in the right direction”. He said the country will benefit greatly from the services of students who will graduate from that department.
In his address to formally open the college canteen, valued at more than seventy-five million leones, the Student Union president Alieu Dainkeh said they constructed the canteen to demonstrate that the union was working hard on behalf of the students.
