The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requires Humber College to become fully accessible to people with disabilities by 2025.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity and HR Services (the Centre) coordinates the fulfillment of the College’s legal obligations to the AODA, Ontario Human Rights Code and the Employment Equity Act.
To accomplish this mandate, the Centre works with the Humber Community in the following areas:
- The recognition, prevention, and elimination of systemic barriers to equitable education and employment at the College.
- The visible promotion of the College’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Three related online training programs run by the Centre are:
1. AODA Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators
This AODA training provides Humber employees, who are responsible for the design, delivery and/or instruction of courses, with strategies to enhance accessible teaching methods.
2. Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) and Ontario Human Rights Code Training
Learn more about the accessibility standards and how they pertain to information and communications, employment and transportation.
3. AODA Customer Service Standards Training
This customer service standards training is a legislated training for all Humber employees that outlines what Humber College is required to do to ensure that it is accessible to all members of the Humber Community.
