Assurance of Learning Assessment for graduating HR
students is the new universal benchmark for students who
are completing an HR degree and who have little to no
work experience in HR. It benefits students by showing
employers the student has acquired the minimum
knowledge required to be a successful HR professional,
and it gives recent graduates an important advantage
over other entry-level candidates by showing the student
has achieved the Certificate of Learning upon passing an
exit exam. As part of SHRM's broader academic initiative,
the Assessment represents an important step along an HR
professional's career development path. It complements
both formal classroom knowledge acquired through a
degree program and experiential learning gained through
internships.
