Introduction
Human Resources Management (2360)
A successful organization is only as good as its people, and human resources management (HRM) plays a critical role in ensuring an organization has the right people for success. With training from Centennial College's Human Resources Management (Optional Co-op) program, you'll be responsible for ensuring that happens.
Thanks to this offering, you'll have the necessary foundational training and education to enter into occupations in human resources — either as a generalist or as a specialist — across a range of industries and organizations. By doing so, you'll become a vital strategic partner in the organizational world, the business community and your own community, and in turn, the Ontario economy.
During your time in this business graduate certificate program, you'll be exposed to what is necessary to align HR practices and policies with overall organizational strategies. You'll also gain the knowledge to carry out duties in various areas, which will include:
- Staffing
- Compensation
- Performance management
- Training and development
- Occupational health and safety
- Industrial relations
- Alternative dispute resolution
- Human resource management systems
When you successfully complete this professional program's in-depth HRM courses, which the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA) accredits, you'll be prepared to confidently launch your career.
