UPEI Launching New Programming for Small & Medium Sized Businesses Fall 2010 07.30.10

The Centre for Life-Long Learning at the University of Prince Edward Island is launching two new programs for the small and medium sized business community this September - Human Resource Essentials and Supervisory Essentials. The programs will include courses on Strategic Human Resource Planning, Recruitment and Selection, Employee Relations, Performance Management, Team Building and Communication Techniques, among others.

The program has been developed specifically for the small and medium sized business community through consultations with industry sector councils, associations and various Island businesses. "The Information Technology Sector Council is pleased to partner in these programs with the Centre for Life-Long Learning. Businesses in our sector have expressed a need for training in these areas and we are looking forward to the sector reaping the rewards of a more highly skilled and managed workforce," says Peter Lawlor, President of the IT Sector Council.

The Human Resource program will be delivered in both Charlottetown and Summerside, while the Supervisory program will be delivered in Summerside only. The program is made possible through the support of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Innovation PEI. The registration fees are at considerably reduced rates of $575 for eight days of training, or $150 per individual module..
