On January 19th, the RBC Advice Centre presented an information session on career opportunities at RBC as well as features of their Summer Student Program.

Details of the Student Recruitment Program for Sales and Service Representatives were presented and students were shown how to apply to these excellent opportunities. The recruiter from RBC also spent time reviewing student resumes and providing valuable feedback. The session was attended by students from the Business Administration Co-op and Financial Services Diploma, Financial Planning Postgrad, International Business, and Finance Degree programs.

Humber partners with Air Canada

Humber is launching a new travel plan and corporate rewards program with Air Canada. Effective immediately, all Humber employees will receive a discounted rate when booking air travel, accommodations or vehicle rentals directly with the airline. The more we travel with Air Canada, the greater the discount and overall savings to the institution. The plan also applies to select Lufthansa Group itineraries. The starting discount for Air Canada travel is five per cent. This may increase depending on the total aggregate spend by all employees.

If you would like to participate in the program, please email purchasing@humber.ca to obtain a login to the Humber specific website that you will use to book travel through Air Canada.

Once you have your login, you may book travel for yourself or for others. If someone else (within or external to Humber) usually books your travel, then they should get a login.

In your email to purchasing, please specify

1. If you will only make travel arrangements for yourself
2. If you will make travel arrangements for yourself and others (others includes colleagues or personal, i.e. spouse)
3. If someone else (i.e. your office manager, a travel agent) will make travel arrangements for you

Program details and a user guide are available at humber.ca/finance

Please note that while participation in this program is voluntary, we encourage the Humber community to use Air Canada whenever practical. 

For more information please email purchasing@humber.ca.
