Graduate Internships in HR

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

The HRM Internship Program is designed to help students leverage the knowledge, skills and competencies gained from their coursework to solve real-world problems. It has a developmental focus, and provides a unique opportunity for students to explore their career interests, develop industry-specific knowledge, and build professional networks. Students undertaking an internship are expected to demonstrate proficiency on at least five of the seven HRM program learning outcomes: creative & critical thinking; applied problem solving; communication; ethical reasoning and values; information literacy; technological competence; and global competence. The goal is for students to identify gaps in their HR knowledge and competencies, and create an individual development plan to bridge these gaps prior to completing their degree program. Under the guidance of their internship advisor and host organization supervisor, students will work on a broad-based or specialized HR project that is mutually beneficial to them and their partner organizations.
