Professional Development

0 credits · Graduate

The Faculty of Management offers a suite of professional development courses for its graduate students. Professional development refers to activities and learning opportunities that help individuals enhance their skills, knowledge, and competencies relevant to their professional field and career aspirations. INFO 5201 is designed to mirror the way organizations operate with respect to behavioral and technical competency and skill development. The course aims to develop within graduate students the desire for lifelong professional development as a means to serve their employer, the public, their communities and to enhance their professional careers. The relationship between our PD courses and our experiential learning opportunities (internships and practicums) is an important one. The professional development focus of 5201 is introductory and intended to support students as they consider various career paths, engage in the process through which they can secure an Internship or Practicum and prepare for making the most of these experiences.
