The College part-time support staff have ratified the first collective agreement for part-time support staff in Ontario’s 24 colleges.
This is a two-year agreement that provides fair terms and conditions for part-time workers who play an important role at Humber College. It also recognizes that a large number of our part-time workers are current students and ensures they can continue to access part-time opportunities during their time at college. These job opportunities provide income and valuable experience to students, helping jump-start their careers.
You will be provided with the details of the agreement once it becomes available. Over the coming weeks and months, HR Client Services will be working with management across the College in implementing the new agreement.

The Humber IELTS Test Centre has partnered with Cambrian College in Sudbury and will begin IELTS Testing on March 23, 2019. Academic and General testing will occur once a month at the Cambrian Test Venue.
At present there is only IELTS Testing in Barrie and Thunder Bay, so the new Humber IELTS Testing Venue in Sudbury will make it more convenient for those living in mid to Northern Ontario. It will also establish Humber as the sole provider of IELTS in this area of the province.
For Cambrian IELTS Testing information, please visit humber.ca/ielts/cambrian.
