Career Path | The knowledge, skills and competencies developed in the area of mediation will be transferable to both further studies, and in particular, to practice. This is not confined to the area of law and dispute resolution, but can also transfer into business, social studies, community affairs, human resources, management and across any area of life where conflict may arise. Learners who complete this programme will have a range of skills that will be attractive across many sectors as a result of acquired skills such as critical thinking and evaluation, ability to self-manage and self-evaluate, independent learning, conflict management, communication, active listening and mediation. The skills acquired on this programme help the graduate become a more effective communicator and resource in any workplace. Mediation skills are much sought after by modern Human Resource departments. Secondly, the prospect of practicing as a certified mediator on a part-time or full-time basis will be attractive to graduates. As more legislation and judges encourage the directing of disputes towards mediation, the industry is invariably growing. The mediation industry is becoming established in Ireland and the robust nature of this qualification will give a graduate a unique selling point as compared with other non-academic programmes designed to accredit mediators. |
