Professors to Edit Special Issue of International Human Resources Journal
University of Arkansas faculty members Claretha Hughes and Carsten Schmidtke will edit a special issue of the International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management.
The issue to be published next year is titled "The Responsibility of Human Resource Management and Development Professionals in the Development of Low-Skilled Workers." The journal issued a call for papers to address the question of why businesses should become involved in developing these workers to increase the skilled-worker pool.
The journal is published four times a year by Inderscience Publishers. Hughes was invited to edit the special issue, and she asked Schmidtke to be a co-editor. Hughes' area of concentration within workforce development is human resource development.
In the College of Education and Health Professions, Hughes is an assistant professor of workforce development, and Schmidtke is a clinical assistant professor of workforce development.
