As an added benefit of membership, HRMAM offers the Professional Mentorship Program. The aim of this member only program is to help link established human resource professionals with students, emerging HR practitioners, and HR professionals looking to transition to a new field of interest, taking on a new capacity within their organizations, or interested in developing new skills for future career aspirations. These relationships enable the program participants and business leaders to exchange knowledge and experience relating to skill, culture and values. Participants gain valuable individual feedback and may observe companies and their leaders at work. Overall, relationships of trust, respect and appreciation are built to enhance our shared community. The HRMAM Professional Mentorship Program is committed to promoting professionalism and mutual benefit to both Mentor and Protégé. Due to overwhelming interest from mentors, we are able to accept more Protégés. As such, we have extended the deadline for Protégés until September 5. We have mentors in Generalist, Director, Manager and Administration positions interested in mentoring Protégés in the student, entry and emerging levels of their career.

Achieve HR Excellence. Become a CHRP. As a human resource (HR) professional, you are a leader in your own field. Employers, colleagues and clients turn to you for strategic advice, clear guidance and leadership on all aspects of HR. Make the most of your HR knowledge and experience, and get started on the path towards the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation - the gold standard of HR professionals. National Knowledge Exam Fall 2014 Date: November 1 2014 CHRP Competency Framework - As announced on August 11, the NKE will be updated to reflect the nine functional knowledge areas for the June 2015 exam and beyond. NKE preparation courses will be updated in early 2015 to help candidates prepare for the new NKE. Members can choose to write the current NKE (covering seven functional knowledge areas) in November 2014 or write the updated NKE in June 2015 and beyond.The registration deadline for the November NKE is September 2, 2014. How different will the updated NKE, administered in June 2015 and beyond, be from the final offering of the current NKE administered in November 2014? The number of questions on the NKE will remain the same. The level of difficulty will be the same. In the current NKE, some of the seven functional knowledge areas count or "weigh" more than others. The updated NKE will weigh each of the nine functional knowledge areas equally. The current NKE does have some questions that test the two new functional knowledge areas, organized under current knowledge areas. The updated NKE will test some additional competencies in the two new functional knowledge areas.
