"Today’s HR students need to understand how to align all HR initiatives to strategic corporate objectives. They need to learn to solve complex problems related to the specific HR areas they work in, and understand how to demonstrate they are adding value to the organization. Our simulations provide valuable experiential exercises in a highly engaging environment, with an opportunity for active learning using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy."
