Time: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Thinking of joining the CAAT Pension Plan?

Enrolment in the CAAT Pension Plan is immediately open to all employees who work part-time or on contract.

If you are considering joining the pension plan, this session is for you. Sylvia Golebiowski, Lead of Pension Education at the CAAT Pension Plan will review the Plan benefits and what you need to consider in deciding whether or not membership makes sense for you, including:

• How to estimate the lifetime pension you would receive from the Plan and the tax-deductible contributions you would make each pay
• Your portability options if you leave the college system before retirement

The decision to join is yours. This session will help you make the decision that is right for you.

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 their 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. Requests are to be submitted 4 weeks in advance to allow for scheduling and workshop prep and can be submitted here: humber.ca/studentleadership/resources/leadership-workshop-request-program

* This 2 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.
