Customized Information Service
In collaboration with Cornell University’s Institute for Workplace Studies (IWS), CAHRS now provides a monthly customized information service covering key workplace issues exclusively for CAHRS partners. Since the current IWS service has a diverse audience and addresses a broad range of issues, the email service for CAHRS partners will be adapted and customized to focus on content relevant to practicing human resource executives and will be available monthly.

It offers graduate students in human resources and selected undergraduate seniors an opportunity to talk with top human resource executives about their careers, the future of human resources, and the skills they need to develop during their time at Cornell. It offers your company high level visibility very early in a student's program at ILR. Learn more.
