Humber FAST Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE) gives back to the industry by offering Covid-19 Awareness training. 

Ontario and other provinces across Canada are gradually relaxing physical distancing and other control measures to allow the corporation to reopen for business. However, amidst all the information and misinformation circulating, management needs to know the correct information to put the provision in place to provide a safe working environment for their employees.

On May 28, Humber College FAST PaCE offered a free three-hour COVID-19 awareness session to assist companies during this transition. This awareness session provided guidance on occupational health and safety and public health and infection control issues during this pandemic.

Using credible guidance and materials produced by the Ministry of Labour, Public Health Ontario and Ontario Chamber of Commerce, our Faculty experts in Infection Prevention and Control provided clear and concise information and guidance to 10 of our industry partners. 

Prior to the workshop, a detailed needs assessment was conducted with each organization so as to ensure content of the workshop was aligned to their specific needs.

Fact sheets are also being provided to each of the participants to which will contain quick tips and guidance in key areas.

Feedback from our industry partners has been extremely positive:
