Welcome to the CIPD

The CIPD is the professional body for HR and people development. By becoming a CIPD Student Member, you’ll join over 6,000 CIPD members in Ireland and an international community of 150,000 HR and L&D professionals. At the CIPD our purpose is to champion better work and working lives. We believe that work should be a force for good. Not just for shareholders or employers, or even just for employees, but for all of those, as well as the societies and communities they are part of. We’ve been setting the benchmark for excellence in people and organisation development for more than 100 years. But as the future of work unfolds, it will be your growing professional knowledge and insight that will help organisations to design and manage work in ways which benefit individuals, business, and ultimately economies and society as a whole. By studying for a professional qualification, you’re demonstrating your commitment to taking that challenge seriously. And as your professional body, we’ll be a source of strength behind you throughout that journey – by joining us, you’ll have a career partner to support you and your development every step of the way.

Welcome and good luck in your studies.

Mary Connaughton Chartered FCIPD Director, CIPD Ireland
