The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), a global body of HR professionals, has launched a student network in India at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. The Society for Human Resource Management's student program was created in 1965 to promote mutually beneficial interaction between human resource management students and practitioners. Membership offers students the opportunity to supplement their classroom education with real-world knowledge and hands-on experience. Apart from these benefits, the students would be able to get access to 60000 pages of HR Information, research, networking and learning opportunities through the SHRM website at www.shrm.org.
Since the first chapter was chartered in 1965, the student program has continued to grow. The SHRM® student membership program now includes over 430 affiliated student chapters and nearly 11,000 student members. This is for the first time that such a network has been launched outside USA, claims a statement issued by SHRM.
