HR Prof Student Mentorship and Simulation Program

The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive mentorship program that connects students with HR professionals through a structured company simulation activity. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world HR practices. The problem addressed is the lack of practical, hands-on experience for students in the field of Human Resources. By creating a simulation-based mentorship program, students will gain valuable insights and practical skills that are directly applicable to their future careers. The project will involve designing the mentorship framework, developing the simulation scenarios, and creating guidelines for both mentors and mentees to ensure a productive and educational experience. Key points: - Develop a mentorship framework connecting students with HR professionals. - Design company simulation activities that reflect real-world HR challenges. - Create guidelines and resources for mentors and mentees. - Ensure the program is educational and provides practical HR experience.
