ILR is a living laboratory of the workplace
The ILR School's mission is to prepare workplace leaders, inform employment and labor policy, and improve working lives.
Founded in 1945 as the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations and known today as ILR, the school offers undergraduate, graduate and professional education.
ILR's focus has become more international and extends beyond labor-management relations to the world of work, including:
• Human resource management
• Labor-management relations
• Labor economics
• Organizational behavior
• International and comparative labor
• Labor relations, labor law and history
• Conflict resolution
• Management development
• Diversity management
• Employment and disability
• Social statistics.
An ILR education is grounded in the social sciences. Students and faculty explore the human side of work and gain an understanding of human behavior through the lens of the workplace. Students also learn how organizations work and how they fit into the larger society and economy. An ILR education, for students and professionals, is practical and applied.
ILR has more than 11,000 alumni working as leaders in Fortune 500 companies and in diverse fields including HR, labor relations, law, management, government, unions, public service, financial services and consulting, among others.
