This program was first implemented in 2021, first graduation was held in May 2021.
In 2023, the second graduation of the program was held on May 29.
As a result of the second cohort, 32 people from all over the country completed the program. Through online format, we have been able to secure regional representation. Our trainees include managers and leading specialists of republican associations of trade unions and employers, sectoral and local trade unions, legal and HR departments. Trade unions make up half of the trainees, and this is gratifying, as they can now bring knowledge to the masses, correctly explain labor legislation to their members and competently defend their rights.
Speaking about the program itself we should emphasize its uniqueness.
First of all, it’s content. 72 hours of intensive training 3 times a week for almost 3 months (from March 9 to May 27, 2023) allowed to cover all aspects of labor relations and the basics of HR management.
Detailed breakdown of 117 court cases, including the most recent 2022-2023 cases, across 6 modules:
1) regulation of labor relations (general provisions, labor law formula):
2) сontracts in the field of labor: constructions and enforcement;
3) legal risk management system in HR management and personnel records management;
4) social partnership and collective labor relations;
5) work regimes and remuneration systems;
6) resolution of labor disputes and conflicts.
Secondly, it is the systematization of materials in digital format.
All studied and authored materials of our lecturers are placed on a special educational platform Canvas, which is used by all our students. They include presentations, court filings, and video of all classes. Students will retain permanent access to this system, thus will be able to periodically refresh their memory of certain classes.
The third and most important feature is the composition of the program’s lecturers. 7 top-notch experts who have deep practical experience in the field. Our speakers are a successful example of combining science and practice.

Apparently, all of our lecturers have both practical and academic backgrounds, which helps to ensure that the knowledge gained is applied, while at the same time being fundamental and scientific in its approach to the disclosure of topics.
According to our observations, there are no analogues of this program on the market in terms of its content and composition of lecturers. The course is interdisciplinary at the intersection of law, HR-management and conflictology.
