Sessions

Do you seek better-prepared candidates for entry-level HR positions in your organization? SHRM has been working for more than six years with universities across the globe to ensure bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in HR are teaching students the HR knowledge areas employers require. In 2011, SHRM introduced the Assurance of Learning Assessment for Graduating HR students to establish a new universal benchmark that employers can rely on to confirm that recent graduates entering the field of HR possess sufficient knowledge to enter the profession.  If your organization is concerned about the quality and preparedness of new hires in HR, come to this session. Learn about how SHRM involves HR faculty and HR practitioners in its Academic Initiatives to build a better pipeline of candidates through education and assessment. You will also learn about how and why the new assessment was created and why you should expect to see this achievement on recent graduates’ résumés.
