The Ontario government is providing funding for Humber College’s Excellence in Mental Health Leadership and Mental Wellness for Front-line Health Care Professionals micro-credential programs.
Funding through the Ontario Micro-Credentials Challenge Fund will help Humber build on its robust catalogue of micro-credentials and continuous professional learning, with new offerings that support front-line workers.
The Hon. Jill Dunlop, Ontario's Minister of Colleges and Universities was joined by Christine Hogarth, MPP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore at Humber's Lakeshore Campus, to announce that the province is investing $15 million for 250 new rapid training programs to create industry-relevant micro-credentials at colleges, universities, Indigenous Institutes and private career colleges.
As of Monday, December 20, 2021, Guided Learning will no longer be available on the Human Resources Management System (HRMS).
When the HRMS went live, we had introduced Guided Learning, an in-app learning solution that provided you with step-by-step process walkthrough instruction via pop-up messages, along with other in-app tips. It has been an essential learning tool that worked alongside our HRMS Knowlege Base (KB) to provide you with up-to-date and on-demand learning material on everything related to the HRMS.
After two and half years of using the HRMS, we have witnessed employees, from core users to occasional users, embrace and develop exceptional capabilities in using the system. We have seen high levels of adoption and comfort in using the HRMS seamlessly while leveraging the knowledge found on the HRMS KB instead of that found through Guided Learning.
With that in mind, we have decided to sunset Guided Learning and put our efforts into improving our online resources and on-demand learning material found on the HRMS KB. As HRMS continuously evolves, we will continue to build and maintain the HRMS KB to support system changes with new learning material and helpful resources.
In addition, to the HRMS KB, knowledge and support for the HRMS can also be accessed through the HR Support Centre.
Please continue to periodically check the HRMS KB for up-to-date information.
Thank you.
Humber College is committed to the 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.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion (Centre) invites all full-time and non-full-time employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). The information that you provide in the EEQ is kept confidential and only reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data does not contain any personal identification.
The Centre invites the Humber Community to read the 2020 Employment Equity Report (PDF). Deep thanks to all employees who have completed the EEQ. 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.
All full-time and non-full-time employees are encouraged to complete the EEQ. Employees are also welcome to update their responses, as needed, to the EEQ. Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.
Please visit the Centre's website to learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity Program (EEP) and to access Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to the EEP.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.
After 31 years of dedicated service to Humber, Don Henriques will be retiring December 31st of this year.
As a dedicated member of the Campus Services family, Don held multiple roles within our department (most notably General Manager, Food Services and for the past 10 years, Manager Operations, Campus Services) always leading ethically with calmness and kindness.
Don’s contributions to the college and to our department are many, in recent years, Don played key roles in achieving fair trade certification for the college, implementing the pay what you can Soupbar in partnership with IGNITE and the Faculty of Business, coach men’s extramural basketball through Athletics, and, according to legend, as the Lakeshore Residence Manager he purchased incredibly durable goldenrod yellow and olive green furniture for the Lakeshore Residence lounges.
Don has been a strong supporter of the healthy and inclusive community strategy, and led the change from LinX Lounge 19+ years of age only to an all ages Café LinX, contributing significantly to a healthier and inclusive space for both students and staff to gather. Over the years, Don collaborated with a variety of campus partners and vendors to contribute to the broader college sustainability strategy, including implementing systems for better efficiency and less waste. During the pandemic, Don oversaw the creation of the Humber Dining Plan Office management which included supporting the integration of dining plan services into ONECard, became a license Realtor and assumed property management responsibilities for Humber’s Lakeshore Commercial Properties, collaborated in the implementation of the new OZZI O2GO Reusable Container program in partnership with IGNITE and the Office Of Sustainability, and worked with the Facilities Management Teams in the design concepts of numerous exciting new food service projects including a Zero Waste Barrett CTI 5th Floor Events and Conference Center.
Don’s impact on the Humber community has been broad, both in establishing student-friendly systems and professional relations with many colleagues and partners in the community. Many have been impacted by Don’s thoughtfulness, loyalty, and generosity of spirit. The Campus Services Team and Humber community will not be the same without him.
Please join us in wishing Don all the best in this well-deserved next chapter.
Paul Iskander
Director, Campus Services
