Hosted annually, this two-day virtual competition engages the best and brightest HR students and challenges them to tackle real-life business and HR situations.
Participating students will be presented with an HR business case on the day of the Case Competition on March 24th. You and your team will have a few hours to read and analyze the case, develop a response strategy, and produce a 20-minute presentation with their team’s recommendations. A panel of judges, comprised of senior HR professionals, will review and score the presentations based on a point system. On March 25th, the top three teams with the strongest presentations will be awarded first, second, and third place prizes! There will also be an opportunity for all contestants to network with peers, senior HR pros and HRPA staff.
The Student Case Competition is open to all post-secondary HR students. This includes students working towards a:
• Diploma
• Undergraduate degree
• Master’s degree
• Postgraduate degree
Both HRPA student members and non-members can enter the competition.
