Program Overview:
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.
