Two institutions in the Université du Québec network have recently launched upskilling opportunities and short-term programs. Université du Québec à Montréal’s School of Management is offering a new certificate in organizational change and development starting this Fall. UQÀM will also launch a fast-track teaching certificate program this September that enables working teachers who are not already legally qualified to gain a specialized graduate studies diploma (DESS). Meanwhile, Université du Québec à Rimouski has announced that it will lead a training program to help managers better understand the experiences of employees who immigrated to Canada. The program is targeted at companies that hire or provide services to workers from immigrant backgrounds and covers topics relating to immigration, cultural diversity, and strategies for creating an inclusive organizational culture.
