Join the team that is there for people
Thanks to the Human Resources program at Northern, you’ll graduate ready to take on a leadership role in staffing, employee relations, performance management, and more.
Year One focuses on Business Fundamentals. And then you’ll move on to master what it takes to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
You’ll get to know the legal framework of labour relations, human rights, and occupational health and safety. You’ll learn how to support an organization’s short and long-term goals through strategic recruitment. And you’ll be ready for the collective bargaining process, honing your expertise with labour relations.
Along the way, you’ll also strengthen your skills in communication, information technology and tactical persuasion—and even develop an effective training program that promotes leadership and collaboration.
This program provides all nine core courses required to complete the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario’s (HRPA) coursework requirement, the first step in obtaining the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation. Graduates must maintain a minimum grade of 65 per cent in each of the nine courses required by the HRPA and a minimum overall average of 70%. Please refer to the HRPA web page for more information.
