Second Year - Collateral Reading Topics

Howdy,

Moye...Moye...👀

In the second year, you will be placed in industrial settings, and by the end of your third semester, the placement season will also commence. Therefore, everyone must focus on your learning, which will ultimately aid in securing a placement. This year, you will need to engage in collateral reading related to HR practices and labor laws. These topics are highly beneficial in shaping your career in HR.

I understand that you don't need to cover all the collateral readings listed below, but you will be required to complete approximately 30 collateral readings including both your third and fourth semesters. Kindly shortlist your collateral reading topics based on industry practices and what you deem important for your career.

I'd like to express my gratitude to all my classmates who promptly shared their respective collateral reading topics. I hope you make the most out of this...
