1. Customer Service Standard Training
The Customer Service Standard Training was the first mandatory training to be released under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005) (AODA). All Humber employees who are full-time, part-time, sessional, contract and work-study students are required to complete the AODA Customer Service Standard Online Training. The online training module can be accessed here.
2. Training for Educators
The Training for Educators is the second mandatory training to be released under the AODA, and requires Humber College to provide educators with accessibility awareness training related to accessible program or course delivery and instruction. All full-time, part-time, sessional and contract educators, instructors, facilitators, presenters, curriculum developers and tutors are required to complete the online Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators. The online training module can be accessed here.
3. Integrated Awareness Standard Regulation/Ontario Human Rights Code Training (IASR/OHRC)
The IASR/OHRC is the third mandatory training that was released on Humber’s Human Rights, Equity & Diversity web site in July 2014. All employees who are full-time, parttime, sessional, contract and work-study students are required to complete the IASR/OHRC Training. The online training module can be accessed here.
Please note:

On January 29th, Humber’s School of Hospitality, Recreation & Tourism and guests raised a toast to Scotland’s favorite son at their Robbie Burns Ceilidh in The Humber Room.
The evening commenced with a Whisky Nosing conducted by Richard Pittaway followed by many traditional Scottish traditions and music. Master of Ceremonies Paul McCabe, in full Scottish regalia, entertained guests along with toasters Alister Mathieson, Georgia Sanderson and Susan Somerville.
The Streetsville Pipes and Drums band piped in the haggis and played several tunes, including Amazing Grace, The Bloody fields of Flanders and Auld Lang Syne.
Humber’s Culinary and Hospitality students prepared and served a traditional Scottish menu featuring haggis, roast beef and cranachan. Event Planning students organized the registration and raffles for the sold out event and raised over $1000 for the HUMBER GIVES Scholarship fund.

Humber Libraries has re-designed the copyright for students website to include a copyright quiz.
Tell your students about the new website and quiz. We also have a contest (ends February 25) that is part of the new website's launch.
Students can get a "cool cat" button at the circulation desks during the contest. The new branding was chosen by students from the Library's advisory council.
