Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.

To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity program, please visit the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion website.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion invites all full-time and non-full-time employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). The information that you provide in the EEQ will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification. Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation will allow the College to identify where underrepresentation exists, and to target its efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in the College’s employment systems.

Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.

How can I access the Employment Equity Questionnaire?

• Employees can access the EEQ directly in the HRMS by following the steps below:
  • Go to http://hrs.humber.ca

  • Click on Personal Details
  • Expand the section titled Biographical Info
  • Click on the pencil icon to add/update your responses to the EEQ

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.

The Orientation Team within Student Success and Engagement (SSE) wants to thank our academic faculty and campus partners for their continued support of Orientation programming, first as we navigated moving into the virtual world and now as we prepare for hybrid delivery.

It is clear from both our student and partner feedback, as well as our data, that the move to an online environment yielded some great benefits and gains that we hope to continue to leverage as we move to a more hybrid approach this fall and begin to re-introduce limited in-person components. Taking into account our successes with Online Orientation, the anticipated expansion of in-person academic programming this fall, and of course, our commitment to keeping students safe, below is a summary of what Fall Orientation 2021 will look like:

• Monday, August 2 - We will launch online Orientation in two parts:

a) Our Orientation website: a hub/resource for students, including pre-recorded video workshops, wayfinding information on how to navigate Humber's website, links to learning resources, and other key information.

b) A video-based Orientation Blackboard module will launch, which will further strengthen students' knowledge of supports/resources that are available to help them succeed in their new journey at Humber.  

• Monday, August 30 – Thursday, September 2 - We will host Academic Orientation which will consist of Meet Your Faculty sessions. These sessions will largely continue to be offered via Blackboard Collaborate with some limited in-person sessions hosted on campus where a program with substantial on-campus delivery this Fall is deemed to require an on-site orientation. Students will be emailed their session details directly once those are confirmed.

• September 6 – September 30 - Orientation will continue with offering a full month of Welcome activities in place of what used to be a week of programming during the first week of classes. Done in collaboration with campus partners, these activities, such as networking events will focus on social health and wellbeing and academic transitions - will also largely continue to be delivered through online platforms with a few in-person events planned for outdoor spaces on campus.

Plans also include digital swag for students and an opportunity to access recorded programming at any time through our website. 

We are continually reviewing what other institutions are planning and creating, sharing best practices, and canvasing our students to ensure we are supporting them to the best of our ability. We appreciate everyone's continued support as we roll out Online Orientation and some of these new hybrid components. We’ll be connecting with our campus partners directly in the next few weeks with some additional details and working with them to finalize the schedule of activities. 

Best,
