Over the next year, participating students will follow this framework, dedicating time to study sessions, group discussions, and practice exams.

Past Projects
Sarstedt Consulting Project
ASC SHRM recently completed a comprehensive consulting project with Sarstedt, offering an exceptional learning experience for our members. This project was divided into two focused teams, each addressing critical HR areas. One team dedicated their efforts to enhancing the onboarding process, aiming to improve new employee integration and streamline the initial phases of employment. The second team concentrated on developing initiatives to boost employee wellness, focusing on strategies to enhance overall workplace satisfaction and productivity.
Throughout this project, our members gained invaluable hands-on experience by applying theoretical HR knowledge to real-world scenarios. They conducted in-depth analyses, developed strategic plans, and presented their recommendations to Sarstedt’s management. This process not only honed their consulting and problem-solving skills but also provided insights into the practical challenges and nuances of HR practices within a corporate setting.
The collaborative nature of the project fostered teamwork, leadership, and effective communication among the students, preparing them for future HR roles. By working closely with Sarstedt, our members could see the direct impact of their work, reinforcing the value of practical HR solutions in a professional environment. This consulting experience with Sarstedt exemplifies ASC SHRM's commitment to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical application, equipping our members with the skills necessary for successful HR careers.
