Cert in Industrial Relations and Human Resources

This certificate in industrial relations and human resources provides foundational training across three areas: human-resource management, labour relations, and public labour policy, alongside complementary general or specialized coursework. The 30-credit program takes a multidisciplinary approach, examining work through psychological, political, sociological, economic, legal, historical, and organizational perspectives rather than a single disciplinary lens. It is offered full-time or part-time at both the Gatineau and Saint-Jerome campuses, with admission in fall, winter, and summer terms. The certificate suits students and workplace professionals seeking a broad introduction to industrial relations and human resources before specializing further, and it can serve as a standalone credential or as a foundation for continued study in the field, including at the bachelor's level, or as complementary training alongside another certificate.
