Learner goals and capabilities

In spring 2021, students in Australia (RMIT University Melbourne) and USA (Buffalo University New York) will work together to research a Human Resource management topic (i.e. recruitment, selection, Training & development, Performance management, Reward management). They will conduct a comprehensive literature review and investigate a specific human resource topic on behalf of a Client (business organisation). Any potential gaps between the literature and the practical application of the Client’s proposed topic will be identified and recommendations made for improvement.
