Bring on more students from Thompson Rivers University in the Human Resource Management program to work virtually, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the work term period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students are available for work terms starting May 1 – August 30, 2020 with a flexible start date up to July 1, 2020.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will initially occur virtually. And we request that students complete a minimum of 150 hours either full time or part time.
We request that some form of compensation is provided to the student. We are seeking paid experience via stipend, honorarium or hourly pay but are open to discussing unpaid opportunities as well. Please contact Jamie Noakes for access to wage subsidy grants.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. The student should complete a minimum 150 hours with your organization by August 30, 2020

Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the work term, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
TRU HR students can complete the following core HR functions:
- Depict the psychological influences of individual, group, and organizational interaction on unit performance.
- Recommend policies and procedures to manage an organization’s workers including; resource planning, recruitment and selection, socialization and deployment, and retention.
- Describe provincial and federal labour relations legislation in Canada as a basis for supporting unionized and non-union organizations.
- Apply legal principles and statute law relating to the employer-employee relationship to hiring, compensation, workplace practices, performance measurement, disciplinary and termination decisions.
- Explain how organizational strategy, legal compliance, and business ethics are pillars for all human resource programs and practices.
- Develop reward systems to attract, motivate and retain workers, both individually and collectively in groups and teams.
- Determine employee training needs through a comparison of their skills with their role requirements.
- Apply learning theory fundamentals to assist organizations in designing appropriate training and development methods.
- Discuss how organizational structure and the integration of human resource systems and metrics contribute to organizational effectiveness.
- Formulate plans to improve organizational effectiveness and deal successfully with change.
- Recommend ways to support a safe and healthy workplace environment.
- Apply human resource management principles in a professional capacity.
