University Certificate in Human Resources and Labour Relations


Regulations effective September 1, 2004 Students complete the program regulations in effect at the time of their enrolment.

The University Certificate in Human Resources and Labour Relations is offered by the Centre for Work and Community Studies. This is an integrated, multidisciplinary program of courses that examines employment relations within their social, legal, political, and economic contexts. This certificate will be of interest to trade unionists, managers, human resource specialists and individuals interested in better employment opportunities. Students may obtain either the University Certificate Human Resources and Labour Relations or the University Certificate in Labour Studies (following), but not both. Students who have completed the former University Certificate in Labour Relations may not enrol in this program. Students are recommended to take ENGL 255 or ADMN 233 early in their program. Athabasca University advisors have developed a Program Plan to assist you. The University has also developed program learning outcomes that describe the career options that may be available to you upon graduating.
