As part of the Community Outreach and Workforce Development department’s ongoing commitment to empowering students and fostering their success, we continue to offer programs such as the College Experience/Career Exploration days and the Youth Transition Program. These initiatives play a crucial role in guiding students toward higher education and career opportunities.

To make these programs even more impactful, we are seeking your generous support in the form of swag donations. Swag items, such as branded merchandise, stationery, and other goodies, not only serve as tokens of encouragement but also help create a positive and memorable experience for the participants.

What we are looking for:

  • Branded merchandise (tumblers, t-shirts, hoodies, hats, etc.);
  • Stationery items (pens, notebooks, etc.);
  • Tech gadgets and accessories;
  • Any other creative and useful items that students would enjoy.

How to donate:

If you are interested in contributing to our College Entry Path Programs, please contact Miguel Wiggins at miguel.wiggins@humber.ca. We will coordinate the logistics and ensure that your donation is properly recognized during the programs.

Since these programs are offered throughout the year, we are happy to receive donations year round. Thank you in advance for your support and commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders. Together, we can make a significant impact on the educational journey of these students.

We are pleased to announce that on February 12, 2024, new and redesigned Indigenous Teaching & Learning Bundles will become available to help advance Indigenous education at Humber.

Following the success of our earlier learning bundles, these new offerings are designed to equip faculty and staff with a theoretical focus as they work to incorporate Indigenous voices, perspectives, teachings, histories, and experiences into their classrooms. We encourage all faculty, professors, librarians, counsellors, and staff to take advantage of this unique training opportunity.

All Our Relations will be the first Teaching & Learning Bundle offered by Indigenous Education & Engagement. This introductory course focuses on Indigenous education, worldviews, historical and contemporary realities, anti-Indigenous racism, and decolonizing teaching and learning. Additional training bundles will become available later this year.

The course details are as follows:

  • Dates: February 12 to April 8, 2024.
  • Time commitment: Approximately 1.5 hours per week for eight weeks.
  • Professors (full-time, partial load and part-time), librarians, counsellors, and staff are all welcome to participate.
  • The course is offered in an asynchronous online format whereby learners meet weekly course requirements.

To enrol, please complete our online request form. Deadline to enrol is Friday, February 2, 2024.

For all other inquiries, please contact danielle.jeancart@humber.ca.

Thank you for your continued support in advancing Indigenous education at Humber College.

This is a gentle reminder for all individuals responsible for budget management (budget holders) to diligently review their open purchase orders (POs) as the 2023/2024 fiscal year approaches year-end.

It is important to note that any POs that remain open and have a value of $100 or more will automatically be carried forward to the new fiscal year 2024/2025 on April 1, 2024. These carried forward POs will be reflected as encumbrances on the department/faculty 2024/2025 budget, therefore, please ensure to close them if they are no longer valid.

It is crucial for budget holders to be mindful that all invoices received after March 31, 2024 for the carried forward POs will be expensed against the new fiscal year's budget.

Additionally, all other types of POs, including standing orders for 2023/2024 fiscal year, will be closed.

If you have any open regular 'reverse' purchase orders or standing orders for the fiscal year 2023/2024 that need to be closed, kindly submit a request to Financial Services at purchasing@humber.ca.
