According to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), Humber College is required to train all members of the organization on accessibility standards.

There are three AODA mandatory online training programs administered by the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity. All Humber employees are required to complete these three (3) trainings:

1. Customer Service Standards Training

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) underwent recent changes as of July 1, 2016. As a result, Humber was required to update its training on the Customer Service Standards. All Humber employees must complete the revised AODA Customer Service Standards Online Training.

The online training module can be accessed here.

2. Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators (AATE)

The Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators requires Humber College to provide educators with accessibility awareness training. All Humber employees are required to complete the online Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators.

Please note: All employees within an educational institution are defined as educators.

The online training module can be accessed here.

3. Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation/Ontario Human Rights Code Training (IASR/OHRC)

The IASR/OHRC training covers the established accessibility standards in information and communications, employment, transportation and the built environment. All Humber employees must complete the IASR/OHRC Training.

The online training module can be accessed here.

Please attached your printed AODA certificates to zahra.brown@humber.ca 

Thank you for ensuring Humber’s compliance with the AODA.

What is the mark of authenticity?

All bodies are sovereign, all realities legitimate.

As we reflect on ourselves and hold up these mirrors in tender and heartfelt ways, a kind of reclamation occurs. Our surroundings, and the narratives present in popular media that inundate don’t always portray the complex nature of existence.

In intimately sharing ourselves, we add to the cultural cannon and make room for unseen truths.

Celebrating our polytechnic environment, this exhibition is a juried selection of works across mediums from students of the Visual Arts Programs at Humber College.

The realness is in your reflection.
