This morning, we became aware of an issue causing delays to Scotiabank payroll deposits. Our financial institution has confirmed that there is no issue with pay distribution from the Humber end.
We have contacted Scotiabank and have been advised that they are working to address the issue. Some clients have been able to receive direct deposits, and some are still experiencing a delay.
We encourage anyone who banks with Scotiabank to contact them directly if you have further questions.
We understand the inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any questions, the HR Support Centre can be contacted at x5001 from a Humber phone line or dial 416.675.5001.

The Young Africa Works in Kenya TVET-02 Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) project partners held a virtual closing forum on July 12, 2024. The initiative is a partnership between Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan), the Mastercard Foundation, the Kenyan Ministry of Education, and the private sector. It is implemented by Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) in collaboration with Canadian partners Humber College, NorQuest College, and Red River College Polytechnic.
Designed to support the implementation of a robust RPL system in Kenya, Humber College's International Development Institute facilitated the closing forum, which featured achievements of the project outputs and activities from the project team, insights from the TVET institutions on RPL implementation, and reflections from KNQA, TVETA and CICan on sustainability and the way forward on RPL in Kenya, and also emphasized the importance of longer-term perspectives by discussing strategies for maintaining and cultivating enduring relationships between KNQA, TVET, the Kenyan National Federation of Jua Kali Associations and the TVET institutions.
Asante sana/thank you to our funders and Kenyan and Canadian partners for their guidance, support, and teamwork over the last four years. Humber College looks forward to the continued success of RPL in Kenya and the way forward.
