    From business methodology and skills to human resource management, leadership development and specialized topics in business and management, there are many elective courses to choose from. We may also approve recognition of your professional development offerings or create new elective content for you.

Program objectives

The objectives of the program are to:

  • provide an introduction to contemporary business management in the Canadian context
  • provide advanced introductions to principles of team leadership and communications within a business context 
  • provide professional development in additional general, specialized, and/or industry-specific topics in business and management, according to participant and partner needs

Customize your program

Work with us to create and offer your own Applied Management (CAM) program for employees or members. Applied Management is customizable professional development with core courses and a selection of elective courses. Learners earn a UM certificate.

Program courses

All CAMs begin with the three core courses. As a partner, you will provide your employees with the electives for your organization’s customized CAM. Your electives will be chosen from our groups of options, we may approve recognition of your professional development offerings or we may create new elective content for you. Let’s consider the possibilities.

Some examples of what your CAM could look like:

  • Core courses + Courses from one group of electives
  • Core courses + Courses from two or more groups of electives
  • Core courses + Partner courses or workshops
