In this elective, students will practice with designing an assessment center, with structured interviews and with training design and evaluation. This elective will start with an opening lecture, in which the structure of the elective will be explained and in which they will learn the relevant theoretical background on assessment centers, structured interviews, and trainings. After that, they will read relevant literature on these topics and start to work in small groups on designing an assessment center. In the first group meeting, they will present their assessment centers to each other and receive feedback on it. In the next group meeting, they will practice a structured interview, in which they will do roleplays in which half of them plays the role of the interviewer and the other half the role of the candidates. Halfway through the meeting, they will switch roles. Finally, they will design a training in small groups and conduct this training during the final group meeting. Again, half of them will start as the trainers, and the other half of the group will be the trainees. During this meeting they will also switch roles.
