Re: TISS HR Connect
The Fieldwork programme is an integral part of the HRM&LR curriculum offered under Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) HR Connect. It provides opportunities for students to reflect apply and integrate acquired skills to work situations in field work organizations. It thus serves as an interface between theory and practice. Students are placed in 4 different organizations, representing different industry sectors, during 2 year duration of their programme. The field work programme comprises of the following • Concurrent placement - In the first two semesters, one attend field work in two different organizations, twice a week • Corporate Block placement - In the third and fourth semesters, one undertake a month long block field work placement in two different organizations • NGO block placement - At the end of the fourth semester, one work in an NGO for one month • It is overseen by the Dean of the School of Management and Labour Relations and by the School Board. The school deals with more than 100 organizations with respect to field work of students. The prospectus and practice is regularly revised and timely inputs are sought from industry experts. • One is expected to record the learning and compare actual business practices with theory. Focus group discussions and individualized feed back sessions are conducted on a weekly basis with a faculty mentor. • In effect, at the end of 2 years, the field work programme augmented with the summer internship, results in a diverse work profile and balanced learning. |
