Become a leader with this 4X award-winning and CPHR-accredited program that distinguishes itself from other academic competitors by layering traditional elements of human resource management with a heavy emphasis on leadership, concrete business tools, and effective communication tools.
With content aligned to industry-recognized standards and best professional practice, graduates enter the workplace with the skills for success. Students also have the opportunity to obtain their WHMIS certification through the Managing Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment course.
Graduates of this program earn both the Human Resource Management Post-Degree Diploma, Management Certificate, and WHMIS certification. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates become eligible for their CPHR designation and CIM (Certified in Management) designation.
In 2017 a National Salary Survey conducted by CPHR Canada found that CPHR designated members in Manitoba earn more than their non-designated counterparts ($87,000 vs $68,000) and one in five (19%) members earn $100,000.

Always an industry leader, this PACE program will incorporate a number of online courses (virtual online classroom) into the schedule. Approximately five out of the ~27 courses in this full-time program will be delivered remotely in our online classrooms.
Spread throughout the program schedule are online courses, so that students continue to connect with their classmates and instructors in the classroom on a regular basis, while adding flexibility. This hybrid program provides our students more latitude in managing their school-life balance. Students are still able to access study spaces and lounges on campus if they wish on those days, or they can skip their commute entirely and complete their coursework from home, or wherever they choose.
This additional flexibility in program schedules helps students develop critical skills for the modern workplace such as using collaborative tools, listening, accountability, and adaptability, while maintaining all the benefits of in-person studies.
The hybrid programming does not impact PGWP eligibility.
Upon successful completion of the program, graduates can:

"Incorporating post-secondary training into the CPHR designation is an important step in advancing the designation and providing greater value for the business community."
- Ron Gauthier, CEO of CPHR Manitoba.
The Post-Secondary Institution Accreditation Program is a significant step forward for the Human Resources profession. The program will recognize the knowledge gained throughout the duration of the post-secondary education program and provide a significant advantage to graduates looking to pursue the CHRP designation.
