The Big Picture

Students in the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Human Capital Management (HCM) Academy ended their six-week ADP mentorship program with a hands-on site visit to the ADP One Center in West El ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½. The visit brought together mentors and mentees for a final, in-person look at how a people-driven organization manages daily operations.

Why It Matters

The ADP partnership provides early exposure to the environments students hope to join. For many, it was their first step inside a large corporate setting — a moment that clarified what HR, people operations, and talent development careers look like in practice. It also strengthened the Academy’s connection to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Alumni now working and leading at ADP.

What Happened

Throughout the visit, students:

• Toured the ADP One Center with their mentors.
• Met with ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Alumni and former HCM Academy students now in professional roles at ADP.
• Asked questions about internships, pathways, and navigating early-career opportunities.
• Closed the day with a group networking session bringing the full cohort together.

The Takeaway

The mentorship program doesn’t just introduce students to industry — it shows them what’s possible. Seeing alumni thriving inside ADP underscored the value of the partnership and gave students a tangible example of where the HCM Academy can lead.
