Accelerating AI Integration with Collaborative Learning - Kinga Petrovai - So...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Kinga Petrovai
You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.
This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content. The Learning Hive enables effective knowledge sharing where employees learn from each other and apply this learning to their work, all while building stronger community bonds. This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.

Aashman Foundation Summer Internship .docxAmanHamza4
The internship opportunity I had with “Aasmaan Foundation” was a great chance for learning and professional development. Therefore, I consider myself a very lucky individual as I was provided with an opportunity to be a part of it. I am also grateful for having a chance to meet so many wonderful people and professionals who led me though this internship period.
I am using this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and special thanks to “Munish Pundir” “Director “who despite being extraordinarily busy with “her/his” duties, took time out to hear, guide, and keep me on the correct path and allowing me to carry out my internship at their esteemed organization.
I further want to thank Prof. Shikha Gera, who helped me to better understand concepts of professionalism and become a better person and employee in my life.
I would also like to thank my parents and friends who helped me a lot during my life and this internship period. I perceive this opportunity as a big milestone in my career development. I will strive to use gained skills and knowledge in the best possible way, and I will continue to work on their improvement, to attain desired career objectives. Hope to continue cooperation with all of you in the future.

Recruiting Lead sends all

detailed in-depth
interviews.
Interviewers work from a standard set
of criteria by skill set and add
questions unique to the specific
engagement.
Results are posted to a central
system using a standard 1 to 10
scoring method.
Interviewers perform a “stress
test” of capabilities to determine
the full depth of skill. This can go
beyond the requirements for the
role itself.
Results are reported to the
Program Technical Lead who
makes the final assessment and
determines team assignment.

Total Solutions Analysis Military Hiring Event Cost
A Single Military Hiring Event:
Monthly Retainer Fee significantly reduces acquisition cost vs
traditional high cost recruiting fee.
Build a partnership to find the right military talent for the existing job
opportunities while engaging in future resource planning strategy.
$17K Monthly Retainer Fee for a minimum of 5 placements per month
Flight, hotel, cost of booth, 1-2 representatives from Hendrick salary over a
minimum of 2 days = Minimum $5K
Speak with 100 candidates with the intention of getting placements because
you really want to hire from the military but understand now that you don't
know how
$5K down the drain and a stack of resumes you don't know what to do with
MOS vernacular is difficult to decipher and challenging to align with job
requirements
