Universidad ORT Uruguay lanza Human Resources Analyst

August 19, 2026
The use of information for decision-making and the incorporation of artificial intelligence tools expand the skills required to work in human resources management.
Human Resources

Human resources is undergoing a transformation that is expanding the scope of its traditional functions. In addition to recruitment, personnel management, and compensation, the field now includes responsibilities related to data analysis, digital systems, and the use of new technologies. 

These changes are reshaping the skills needed to manage people within organizations. Interpreting information on turnover, absenteeism, staffing, or training, for example, allows for the incorporation of evidence into decisions that previously might have relied primarily on administrative procedures.

In response to this situation, the School of Administration and Social Sciences at the University of the Andes ( Universidad ORT Uruguay ) will begin offering, starting in March 2027, a technical degree program in Human Resources Management—an 18-month program designed for non-college-educated professionals and individuals who wish to gain the skills needed to work in human resources or update their knowledge of the tasks they perform.

Data-Driven Management 

One of the academic pillars of the new degree program will be the development of skills to analyze data, generate metrics, visualize information, and use evidence in decision-making.

The goal is for students to be able to understand the information generated by organizations and use it as a basis for people management.

This component incorporates knowledge of talent attraction and selection, performance management, personnel management, compensation, labor law and labor relations, equity, and workplace safety.

Technology for People 

Digital transformation is another component of the academic program. The technical degree program will include training in artificial intelligence, an introduction to business software, and instruction on official systems related to the workplace, such as those of the Social Security Bank (BPS) and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS).

Thus, the plan encompasses three dimensions: human management, data intelligence, and digital agility. This combination aims to develop professionals capable of understanding processes involving people while also working with the tools and information that are playing an increasingly important role in those processes.

Graduates will be able to perform personnel administration and human resources management tasks in public and private organizations, assume responsibilities in this area within family-owned businesses or small companies, and join specialized teams at larger organizations as analysts. 

The first class of the Human Resources Analyst technical program will begin classes on March 15, 2027.
