Apply all the skills you have learned through the Professional Certificate in Human Resources Management. Work independently with an advisor who will coach you through a hands-on research or experiential learning project. This resume-enhancing project will result in a completed white paper and a final project presentation to a small audience of your choosing. This course is highly recommended to students with a strong interest in developing their skills in research, writing and public presentations. This is an opportunity to work on a project that is relevant for your work life (for example, a new onboarding program, revised compensation structure, improved talent selection process).

Class meetings (either over Zoom or in person) are arranged by the instructor and each student separately as needed.
