EMSHRM - Class Sessions
The course also relies on a Web Platform which allows participants to download course materials, as well as to participate in forum discussion.

Individual assignment

The learning model entails the assignment of 4 individual projects, where participants are required to apply insights and tools discussed in class to their organizational context. The aim is to maintain ongoing interaction between face-to-face teaching and organizational practice, in order to optimize situated learning.
Three individual projects are linked to the following modules: People Strategy; HR Performance; Talent Acquisition and Development. The fourth one is tailored on the specific needs of participants' companies.

Each participant will be supervised in the development of each project by Faculty members, via distance-learning tools. In addition to that, participants will receive feedback on each assignment. The work on the individual assignment requires a day-by-day effort in developing the projects which corresponds, approximately, to 40 days of distance learning. Participants will be able to interact with Faculty members through the EMSHRM Web Platform and to download materials to develop their projects.
