Registration is now open for the fifth annual Advisor Training Day, which will occur over three weeks starting Fall reading week (October 26) and wrapping up November 13, 2020. All sessions will be conducted virtually. This year’s conference theme is Advising Without Silos: Collaborating for Student Success. We invite advisors, faculty, and staff from all departments and academic faculties at Humber to discuss, share, and learn about advising techniques, skills, and issues that affect us all. 

This year we have two great keynote speakers. On October 28, Dejehan Hamilton, a dynamic award-winning motivational speaker also known by his stage name Luckystickz, will talk about “Every Student is ONE Caring Educator Away from Being a Success Story”. On November 12, Jared Lindzon, a freelance journalist and public speaker based in Toronto, will talk about “How a Technological Future will Value our Most Human Traits”

CPR Level C and Emergency First Aid Training

This course requires the Emergency First Aid and CPR training which, in normal circumstances, would take place at Lakeshore campus. Due to the current restrictive situation, we are unable to offer it on campus yet. However, this is still mandatory to get the training number upon completion of the course. For this reason, you can take the CPR Level C and Emergency First Aid Training with another provider. You can find a list of approved providers of this training at the following link.

Once you have completed your CPR Level C and Emergency First Aid Training, please, send digital copy of your completed CPR Level C/Emergency First Aid certificate to ce-sscs@humber.ca  and we will give you instructions to getting a $60 reimbursement for completing the training elsewhere.

If you already have a valid Emergency First Aid and CPR Level C training certificate, please provide us with a copy via email and we will exempt you from the training day.

Payment

Please note that payment for this course will be required within 48 hours of registration, to avoid late penalties. Payment can be made on humber.ca/myhumber.

Contact to Mariana Costa at mariana.costa@humber.ca for more information about registration and how to get the discount applied to this course (discount not applicable to international students).

The health and well-being of the Humber community continues to be our top priority. In efforts to avoid the spread of COVID-19, Ontario Colleges are offering Part Time Support and Part Time Academic staff access to a paid leave. Part time Support and part time Academic employees who are unable to work remotely and have a legitimate reason to believe they require a COVID-19 test due to possible exposure to the coronavirus have the ability to request up to two (2) days of paid leave in order to get tested.

This temporary measure is in effect until December 31, 2020. The paid leave is subject to approval from the Manager and Occupational Health and allows a part time employee access to paid leave to obtain up to two (2) tests during this period of time. Proof of having received a test is required and an employee may not return to work on campus until they have complied with the Local Health Authority protocols or provided proof of a negative test.

To request this leave, contact your Manager as well as Hiren Patel, Senior Abilities & Accommodation Specialist hiren.patel@humber.ca in Occupational Health & Safety.

Further benefits, if needed, are available through government leave provisions and more information can be found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/cerb-application.html
