Human Resources

In a human resources role, you’re responsible for maintaining an inclusive environment and improving the efficiency of your organization. This can be done by supporting areas such as employee training, recruitment, workplace ethics and labour relations. In these courses, you will develop leadership, teamwork, critical thinking and intercultural communication skills. You will identify how to execute new HR systems and policies effectively, and learn about individual and organizational behaviour. Not only will you study how to put strategies into effect, but you will understand why it’s valuable to an organization’s image and performance.

Performance and learning programs

We offer three programs centred on workplace learning that may be of interest to human resources professionals. Two micro-credentials: Designing Learning for a Changing Workplace and Designing Learning in a Hybrid Workplace, as well as a certificate in Adult and Continuing Education
