What parallel courses can I pursue with an MBA Human Resources (HR) for better career prospects?

The kind of courses depends on your interest and your career goal. If you want to pursue career in HR, MBA in HR from a good institute should be sufficient to build a career. You can do certificate courses in coaching/leadership if you are interested in organizing workshops. There are also certification programs in data analytics which will be relevant today as HR analytics field is developing. There are several courses available online on International labor laws and foreign language which can enhance your profile if targeting for multinational company. As the role of HR revolves a lot around people, the leadership and people skills are very important. Thus, it's not that important to add courses on your resume rather you can also get associated with some NGO and volunteering activities, or do live projects. These points add a great value to strengthen the profile and help in the interviews as well.
