Humber, OCADU, Queen’s launch short-term programs

Humber Polytechnic, OCAD University, and Queen’s University each recently launched new short-term training programs to support working professionals. Humber launched the free 16-week Connecting to Careers in Agricultural Technology within Vertical Farming program for learners who are hoping to advance or launch a career in vertical farming. The polytechnic also recently relaunched its Indigenous Pension Plan Administration Certification. OCADU launched a nine-month art and design training course for surgeons. “Both in surgery and in art, we think with our hands,” explained OCADU Program Co-developer Dr John Semple. “I believe that this type of experiential learning in art for surgeons will foster creativity and improvisation in their research and clinical practice.” Queen’s launched a Certificate in Professional Impact Analysis for working professionals who would like to develop the skills to measure and communicate their organization’s impact.
