respond to the interests of both parties. Emphasis is on
skill development through simulated negotiations
assisted by trained coaches. A DVD will be provided for

of the course.

discussion, you will build your understanding of group
role functions and problematic behaviours that interfere

Student testimonial
Post-Diploma in Human ResourcesManagement
I attended the Continuing Education Human ResourcesPost Diploma Program starting Fall 2011. The curriculumwas very relevant and current to the field of HR. Theinstructors were so knowledgeable of HR practices andhad an abundance of experience to share and draw reallife examples from. As an adult learner, I was able toeasily relate to the material. I was fortunate to land an HRjob during the 9th month of the program. For threemonths the balance of work and school was a challenge,however I could literally apply what I learned in class tomy job the very next day. It was amazing! I since movedinto operations management and I owe this promotion inpart to what I learned in the CNC HR Post DiplomaProgram. Regardless of your position in the businessworld, Human Resources is an asset to specialize in andadd to any portfolio. ~ Nikki
