Humber College is pleased to announce the launch of the Supply Chain Awareness and Employment Bridging Program for Internationally-trained professionals. While the program begins in August 2017, information sessions are now underway, and applications for the program are currently being accepted. 

This unique eight-week Supply Chain Bridging Program is designed specifically for internationally trained professionals with education and experience in supply chain management, business, logistics or purchasing.

Participants will acquire and develop industry-specific technical skills, as well as an understanding of the terminology used in the sector in Canada, and the interpersonal skills being sought after by employers in this field.

Most importantly, every student will have access to an employment advisor as well as a job developer to ensure that they build connections with hiring employers and are positioned to secure employment in the supply chain sector upon graduation.

Learn more about this program: newtocanada.humber.ca/bridging-programs/scape.html

 

The Supply Chain Awareness and Employment bridging program is funded by the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada.

Bring a Leadership Workshop into your Classroom or Student Training!

Did you know that Student Life’s Leadership Program offers leadership workshops by request?

The Workshop By Request Program allows staff and faculty to easily request leadership workshops to be facilitated in the classroom or student training sessions by a professional staff member. Staff and faculty can select from the list of available workshop offerings, including:

  • Personal Values & Ethics
  • Leading Others & Group Dynamics 
  • Conflict Management 
  • Professionalism
  • Assertive Communication 
  • Goal Setting  
  • Bringing in the Bystander*

This is a great opportunity to enhance the curriculum, proactively provide additional skills and tools to students and to emphasize connections between leadership skills and there academic area of study. To create the best learning experience, we highly recommend that the faculty or staff member be present during the workshop to assist in facilitating questions that may arise and aid in bridging content with course material. To best facilitate this, we highly recommend connecting with the Coordinator, Leadership Programs to discuss tailored case studies and expectations for classroom participation during the interactive components.

Not sure if the workshop fits your curriculum or training goals? Staff and faculty can also request some customization of an already offered workshop in order to best fit the student group to which it will be delivered.

* This two hour training program will discuss how we can all play a role as active, positive bystanders and create a community that is safer from sexual and relationship violence. The program teaches bystanders how to safely intervene in instances where an incident may be occurring or where there may be risk. Through in-depth discussion of issues and common scenarios, participants come to understand how they play a part in proactively preventing sexual and relationship violence, and how they can help survivors get the help and support they need.

“Elevate Your Career at Humber” – the first career expo organized in collaboration between Humber College and the Humber River Hospital – was a great success! Humber Community Employment Services would like to sincerely thank everyone at the college who supported this event. There were over 340 candidates register for the event as a result of your referrals!

We are also happy to announce that the Hospital has already hired its first Humber Community Employment Services (CES) client as a Clerical Support Associate in its Emergency Department! In addition to the first hire, the hospital has 2 other candidates in the references stage for roles in their finance department. Tim Horton’s has also hired two individuals as a direct result of the career expo! It’s just been a few days since the conclusion of this hiring event and we are already seeing its impact on employment within the community!

The college has received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the event, and we look forward to continuing and strengthening this partnership with the Humber River Hospital. In fact, the hospital has also expressed an interest in working more closely with the School of Health Sciences at the College in order to facilitate a quick transition to employment for Humber College students who are seeking careers at the hospital and to discuss potential future specialized curriculum. 

This was made possible because of the support and willingness to collaborate with the Humber Community Employment Services by the Schools, Advancement and Alumni Affairs and the Career Centre. We greatly appreciate your assistance and we want to ensure you know how important your commitment has been to the overall success of this event.

Continuing Education with the School of Hospitality, Recreation & Tourism proudly welcomed the Delta Family Resource Centre on Wednesday, July 5th for the first day of its “Thinking Outside the Box” workshop. The main objective of this program is to give high school students who experience barriers in their lives that might prevent them from going to post-secondary education an opportunity to experience college. Continuing Education with the School of HRT aims to inform students about the different programs offered and inspire students to pursue post-secondary education. 

This workshop is a series of culinary skills classes, giving students the opportunity to work with high level chefs in professional settings, while allowing them to explore unique career options. As part of the program, this group of students learns to prepare their own dough, pizza sauce and ultimately a pizza meal to enjoy. The next session with this group occurs on Wednesday, July 12.
