HRM Departmental Internship
In the spring of 2014, I was offered the chance to work with Temple’s Human Resource Management department at the Fox School to help implement both a point system similar to that of MIS and an enhanced social media presence. The project was to be facilitated by faculty member Dr. Andrea Brooks-Lopez and guided by HRM staff. The major objectives given to me were:
– Crafting quizzes and HRM-related material to be used by students to refine their skills,
– Enhancing the department presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Twitter,
– Helping to modify the point system used in MIS to fit the unique needs of the HRM department, and
– Measuring the efficacy of the new system to emphasize strengths and reduce weaknesses.
The HRM internship went from June 2014 to the end of the Fall 2014 semester. A traditional internship format was chosen; 10 hours per week were worked in the HRM offices at Temple Main under the supervision of Deborah Donato and Dr. Brooks-Lopez.
