January 16, 2013:   HR Student and HR Pro Networking Night Shines a Light on Talent Within West Toronto HR Community

   When over 80 West Toronto HRPA Chapter members came together at January's networking event, one thing was crystal clear:  West Toronto is bursting with HR talent.

   The breadth and depth of talent at our event included students with multiple degrees from leading Colleges and Universities who are adding diploma's and degrees in HRM to their already impressive list of qualifications. There were also multiple, mature students present who were transitioning their careers into HRM after years of working in related fields such as T & D, Teaching and Corporate Communications.

   The purpose of the January's event was to create new job or internship opportunities for new entrants in the HR fiel​​d. And while we can't thank our membership enough for joining us at this event, it was clear that we need to do more to create great connections between new HR entrants and their West Toronto community of practice.  So, if you have a great internship opportunity for one of our West Toronto student members or members who have recently upgraded their skills with studies in HRM and are transitioning their careers,  please send it to us today so we can connect you with our incredible, local talent.   Contact students@hrpwt.com​ for more information.

​January 15, 2013:  West Toronto Best in the West Initiative Gains Momentum in January:  $2000 raised to date to create advanced educational programming for West Toronto Members 

   Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."  We agree. That's why we believe that our new Best in the West program will be supported by our members and change the world for HR practitioners, everywhere.   Through this initiative, members will be helping members stay up to date on the many HR Service Providers that can help them achieve their strategic and operational HR goals.  Plus, the program offers additional benefits to our West Toronto community such as strengthening local HR networks, fostering more learning about HR providers, and raising funds for future West Toronto chapter members educational events.  Help us build a list of HR Service Providers this year that will become our chapter's special way of making a collective impact on the HR community.
