Human Resources Management York University

Overview

A specialized knowledge of human resources theories and practices is essential to getting hired, but it’s not enough if you want to excel. Our curriculum moves beyond the basics to get you where the best employers want you to be.

Our advisory committee of senior human resources executives from many of Toronto’s leading firms has helped us craft a program to prepare you for excellence, both in Canada and internationally. 

But unlike other programs, the Human Resources Management Postgrad Cert offered at York University School of Continuing Studies will teach you to apply these competencies through real-life scenarios in a practical, interactive, and engaging classroom environment.

• You will learn to think critically, analyze problems, propose viable solutions and develop HR business cases.
• You will practise exercising influence across an organization with confident communication and negotiation.
• You will learn to use financial and organizational data to build your case.
• You will understand how to gather and analyze relevant productivity data, and leverage the metrics to solve problems.

These competencies are critical to success but not taught in any other human resources certificate program.
