The Ontario Human Rights Commission requires that all employers provide ongoing education and training on the organization’s
human rights policy. All Humber employees (full-time, non-full-time, work-study) are required to update their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures every two years.

Goal of the workshop:

Increase and reinforce Humber and University of Guelph-Humber employees’ understanding of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Humber’s Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures, and their implications for enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in order to advance employees’ feelings of belonging.

Please note the following:

  • All Humber employees who have attended a Humber Human Rights Training session prior to December 2021 are required to refresh their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures by undergoing an updated training. It is important to note that the policy is being revised and you will also have an opportunity to provide input at the educational sessions.
  • Registration space is limited. Please do not sign up for more than one session in order to leave space for other registrants.
  • To facilitate your attendance, Human Rights Training sessions will be offered through an Eventbrite online registration process available at the registration link below each session.
  • Please note whether the session is marked as an "Open Session" which means it is open to all Humber Employees or a "Closed Session" and is therefore only open to a select group of employees.

Humber's Research Analyst Graduate Certificate Program is pleased to invite you to its annual research event, the RAP Research Forum, happening on Monday, November 28 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Zoom. This year’s distinguished speakers will address the theme, Data Protection and Privacy: Impacts on Research. 

Researchers are faced with many challenges in protecting individuals’ information and data. Among these are concerns arising from working remotely, creating unsecured collaborative documents, storing data on shared drives, linking personal devices with work devices, and utilizing numerous apps. While policies and laws are meant to safeguard such information and data, advances in technology often outpace formal regulations regarding its use. This raises questions as to how personal information should be accessed, used, repurposed and shared. Given these issues, what are the impacts on the research process and its participants? How is the process enabled or hindered, and what are the benefits and detriments to research participants?

In addition to the guest speakers’ presentation, the event will include a showcase of RAP student projects, and a networking social.

Meet our Panel Speakers
