To be engaged in such activities is necessary to have an or­ganization sufficiently independent of state structures, free to carry out its plans that unite qualified specialists on the work with per­sonnel. The prototype of such an organization is the cooperative «The Kyiv Inculcation Centre "Personnel" which was created in 1989.

At that time the organization established its branches in Ukraine, Byelorussia and Russia which trained more than one thousand staff workers early.

The work of the People's University makes possible to extend the research conducted, master the system of training, improve and perfect a scientific and methodical provision of the process of studies.

Чтобы быть занятым в подобном роде деятельности, необходимо наличие организации, достаточно независимой от государственных структур, свободной для выполнения своих планов по объединению компетентных специалистов по работе с персоналом. Опытный образец такой организации - кооператив «Центр Внушения Киева "Персонал", который был создан в 1989.

В то время организация основала свои филиалы в Украине, Белоруссии и России, которые вскоре обучили более одной тысячи административных работников.

Работа Народного Университета делает возможным расширение проводимого исследования, совершенствование системы обучения, улучшение и усовершенствование научного и методического обеспечения учебного процесса.
