Before the program begins, you will choose a specialization:

All of the courses in this program are non-credit. In the first eight months of the program, you will develop your leadership and management style during the Certificate in Leadership Excellence and Certificate in Human Resource Leadership. This foundational coursework will prepare you to be a leader in your chosen specialization. Specialization (ITPM, CSM, SET) courses take place twice per week in the morning or afternoon. This will give you sufficient time to work on your assignments, and the flexibility to manage your personal life. 

During the first 12 months of the program, you'll work 1-on-1 with an ISANS career counselor to prepare for your work term. The career counselor will help you by:

• reviewing your resume/CV
• advising on job search methods/strategies
• preparing you for interviews
• keeping you informed on the Canadian work environment

In the final term, you will participate in a 4-month work term with a Canadian employer.

Experiential Learning

During the program, you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with Canadian work culture by completing workplace training, hands-on activities and 1-on-1 career counselling and job search support with ISANS. This prepares you for your work term, during which you will apply your learning to real-life situations, make industry connections, and experience Canadian work culture. You must successfully complete your work term to satisfy program requirements and receive the post-graduate diploma.

Course Schedule

The program delivery will be hybrid, with more than 50% of courses offered in person on Dalhousie’s Halifax campus. The program is structured to allow students to balance experiential learning, work, and study.
