All of the courses in this program are non-credit. In the first eight months of the program, you will develop your leadership and management style during the Certificate in Leadership Excellence and Certificate in Human Resource Leadership. This foundational coursework will prepare you to be a leader in your chosen specialization. Specialization (ITPM, CSM, SET) courses take place twice per week in the morning or afternoon. This will give you sufficient time to work on your assignments, and the flexibility to manage your personal life.Â
During the first 12 months of the program, you'll work 1-on-1 with an ISANS career counselor to prepare for your work term. The career counselor will help you by:
- reviewing your resume/CV
- advising on job search methods/strategies
- preparing you for interviews
- keeping you informed on the Canadian work environment
In the final term, you will participate in a 4-month work term with a Canadian employer.
