Opportunity for Nonprofit Human Resources Assistance

This email contains general information about the opportunity for class team projects in cooperation with nonprofit human services organizations in Central New York.

Service Learning is part of the curriculum in Le Moyne College's fall Compensation and Performance Appraisal class and the spring Personnel Planning and Selection (Staffing) class. Each class is divided into teams which are matched with nonprofit client/sponsors who have an interest in the class team working on a project for them.

In the case of Compensation and Performance Appraisal, the project is based on the needs of the nonprofit organization. Examples include: creating a variable pay plan design, creating job descriptions, developing pay ranges, developing a performance appraisal system.

The project for the staffing class involves developing a complete staffing strategy and process for one or two positions. This includes the concept for the position, strategy for staffing, job description, recruiting methods, assessment techniques, selection and offer process as well as orientation.

Class teams work with designated people from the agency. Final presentations are made in class with agency people present (or class team presents at the agency).

There are a couple of open projects for the fall (Compensation) and there are 4-5 opportunities for spring (depending on class size).

The Compensation Class starts on September 3d and on September 10th there is a process for matching teams with agencies. Presentations take place in late November/early December. Last date for class is December 10th.

Time requirements for the agency will vary depending on the nature of the project. There is an upfront meeting with the team and the client/sponsor (agency), various meetings throughout the semester; concluding with a 30 minute in class presentation (or presentation at the agency). I would estimate that time would be less than 10 hours.

In addition to interest for this semester, I am trying to build a list of agencies who have a future interest.

If anyone is interested in learning more, please call or email Kerry Carney (Adjunct Faculty at Le Moyne) 436 9529 carneykj@lemoyne.edu.

Thank you.
