TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

RCSA offers a wide range of training options to improve the skills and capabilities of professionals in the recruitment and staffing industry.  Our goal is to help our members improve all aspects of their professionalism.


Our Learning Model

In order to cater to the different needs of our members, RCSA has adopted a three pillar learning model.

This model allows individuals to identify the best L&D content for them based on their level of experience in the recruitment and staffing industry.

Additionally, the model provides a professional pathway that individuals can use to map out their career journey. Our three pillars are:

  1. Plan to learn
    Induction & Orientation
    To provide those new to the industry with a core understanding of industry specific concepts and issues.

  2. Develop practice
    Complete Core Training
    To help those established in the industry maintain a strong understanding of contemporary recruitment consulting functions while exploring their links to strategic management.

  3. Extend career
    Build Specialised Skills
    To provide targeted and comprehensive training options for emerging and developing leaders
