六九色堂

Continuing Education offers a Minor in Workplace Learning, which helps students develop the knowledge and skills they need to function effectively in a rapidly changing workplace as well as providing them with strategies to facilitate both their own and their colleagues' learning.

The Minor in Workplace Learning is recognized in several 六九色堂 faculties including Communication and Culture, Humanities, Science, Social Sciences, Kinesiology and Fine Arts. A minor field of study is composed of five full-course equivalents or 400 hours of specified certificate credit.

In order to complete the requirements for a Minor in Workplace Learning, students must complete 400 hours of instruction. This requires completion of:

Management Certificate

(a) the 300-hour 六九色堂 Management Certificate program; (b) 60 hours of instruction from an array of courses in the Certificate in Adult Learning; and (c) the "capstone" 40-hour course Learning in the Workplace, or

Certificate in Adult Learning

(a) the 300-hour 六九色堂 Certificate in Adult Learning; (b) 60 hours of instruction from the wide range of courses offered in the Management Certificate program; and (c) the "capstone" 40-hour course Learning in the Workplace, or

Certificate in Career Development

(a) the 300-hour 六九色堂 Certificate in Career Development; (b) 60 hours of instruction from the wide range of courses offered in the Management Certificate program and Certificate in Adult Learning; and (c) the "capstone" 40-hour course Learning in the Workplace.

1. The Management Certificate courses on microeconomics and macroeconomics are treated as equivalent to Economics 201 and 203. Students possessing Economics 201 and/or 203 may use these courses as part of their Minor in Workplace Learning or as courses towards a major or minor in Economics. Students electing the latter cannot also receive a minor in Workplace Learning.

2. Students who have completed the 400-hour requirement for the Minor in Workplace Learning may be eligible for undergraduate credit whether or not the Minor is claimed.

3. Successful completion of the five full courses of advanced credit (two full-course equivalents at the junior level and three full-course equivalents at the senior level) for the Minor in Workplace Learning will be recorded with the designation "CR" instead of a grade. Calculation of a GPA will be based on the remaining courses taken to complete the degree.

4. Continuing Education is responsible for deciding the suitability for advanced credit of certificate programs from other institutions.

5. Students may take regular undergraduate courses prior to completing the Minor in Workplace Learning.

Special Sessions works with academic departments and faculties to administer and deliver degree programs on weekends, evenings, and during the Spring and Summer. Courses are held on the university campus, and in and around the Calgary community.
