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.

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

On Thursday, October 5, 2017, the Business School Placement Centre hosted their annual Employer Appreciation Event at the Humber Lakeshore Campus.

Almost 400 attendees were welcomed into the beautiful G Commons. Of those attendees, over 160 were industry partners who have continued to successfully support students through work integrated learning opportunities. Our student volunteers worked tirelessly to promote their programs and engage in thoughtful conversations with industry partners, faculty, staff and other students.

This open house and social served as a thank you for our employers who continue to support our students, while also providing students of the Business School an opportunity to promote their programs, and liaise with industry professionals to grow their networks.

The event was a great success and valuable connections were made.

The Business School Placement Centre would like to thank our industry partners, faculty, administration, students and guests whose presence contributed to the event’s success.
