Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level?

Bring on students from Lakehead University to be your HR student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

The overall aim of this program is to familiarize course participants with the many functions of HR management.

Though students will cover the basics of HR throughout the term, the project would ideally focus on the principles and techniques used in the attraction, selection, retention, and/or evaluation of employees.
