Your boss asked you to come up with suggestions in writing on human resources related aspects to assess employees as she had just "discovered" that you have an HR qualification but you have been working for him for 3 and half years but not directly under him. While discussing this he mentions that they are under utilising me I should be doing something that is related to what I have studied or else if not they should give another position even if it means doing some courses to develop my skills and the company financing those courses.He even said that they will hire somebody else to be in my present position and I will train that person.
I did give him all that he wanted he never came back to me, that was a year ago. He has never came to our office since then but I saw him when we had our closing function in December, he never said anything, yes I wasnt expecting him to becuase we were there for social purposes..
What do I say now to him, where do I start, how do I say it?

It sounds to me like he was giving this information to you as a motivational suggestion and then left you to pursue it yourself...since you did not directly work under him, it would not have been in his hands to be your advocate, only to make the suggestion and let you run with it...why have you waited all this time for him to take charge of your life for you, why didn't/don't you speak to your immediate boss about it, and see if all this might be a possibility?...it sounds like this man is a good leader, he saw more potential in you than you were utilizing at the time, he mentioned it, gave you ideas to pursue higher aspirations, then got out of your way and left you to do the task...what have you done to pursue this on your own since that time? He handed off the football to you with that info, and you might still be able to make the touchdown...now that you've been in the company longer, you may even have more leverage in asking your boss about it all...
I would approach him again, call him up, go to his office, whatever....remind him of the conversation you two had a year ago...explain that you really liked the idea and would like to pursue that avenue...ask him if he has any suggestions as to how you could get that ball rolling...and then listen to what he tells you to do...then do it!
But remember, it is ultimately up to you, not him, to make it happen...this is your career, not his...any info he shares with you, will be your responsibility to carry out and make your dreams come true!
Good Luck!

Request for a promotion since you are qualified as perceived by the of the Human Resources Department. Under the laws on labor standards, your request must be granted since you are under utilized.
