Project Examples
Starting this June a group of 5 professional students will spend approximately 100 hours working to improve your organization's HR practices.
ACCES Employment is a non-profit organization that helps internationally-educated professionals to launch their careers in Canada. In this program, experienced human resource professionals are provided Canadian workplace and academic training to allow them to transition into a full time position in the Canadian human resources sector. These human resources professionals are mentored and guided by industry leaders as well as receiving academic training from Sheridan College.

As an industry partner, you can provide a human resources challenge or project for the students to work on in groups, and present their final deliverables to you. The full class works on a single or multiple projects, and you will receive all student reports to use and provide feedback on.
Based on the information your organization provides and research done by students, they will provide you with recommendations to optimize your operations, processes and overcome your unique organizational challenges.
Based on the project that you provide around the topics of Employment Law & Diversity Management, Industrial Relations, Health & Safety, HR Analytics and Disability Management, experienced HR professional-students will revise an existing policy or provide recommendations for your organization.
Through this experience, your organization will gain international perspectives on an HR challenge and you will provide recent professional immigrants something tangible that they have created in Canada to show prospective employers
