Custom Made Programs for Custom Made Solutions

Queen’s IRC’s open enrolment programs, held in Kingston, Ontario, and select cities across Canada, address the learning needs of a great many of our students. We are mindful, however, that some organizations need to put a number of employees through a development program that is customized to their needs. We also understand that staying competitive and adding value means training employees for specific roles within an existing culture. That is why many organizations and associations in both the private and public sectors partner with us to develop training programs with high impact and relevancy.

We would be pleased to sit down with your senior management team to learn more about your organizational environment and the specific needs that must be addressed. It may be a planned change initiative or high-performance teams that need to be built following a corporate restructuring. We will recommend appropriate learning modules and faculty, fine-tune the proposal with feedback from your senior management team, and then deliver the custom program in-house at your organization, at a training venue in your city, or at Queen’s campus in Kingston, Ontario. And we guarantee the same high level of service and engagement that make our open enrolment programs so distinctive.

Queen’s IRC is also able to offer our full organization development and labour relations Certificate programs in other regions of the country, as we did in the Northwest Territories (labour relations) and Saskatchewan (organization development and human resource management). This may involve working with a consortium of organizations, enabling nationally recognized management development to be delivered close to home. We would be pleased to suggest ways to build a consortium and assist you in that process.

Specific benefits that your organization will enjoy from a customized Queen's IRC program:

• Your organization has the opportunity to develop a co-branded Certificate program encompassing a single program or a series of modules.
• When you opt for a "train the trainer" option, you build internal capacity for learning and development.
• Attendees receive credit towards a Queen's University Certificate in either Organization Development or Labour Relations.
• Attendees have access to a password-protected site to download tools, templates, and reports at no extra cost. And they will be able to contact Queen's faculty members to get answers to post-program queries, again at no extra cost.
• A number of your key personnel will be trained in the same methodology using the same concepts. They will be quickly aligned to face a changed environment or a new challenge.
• You have the assurance of Queen's reputation for high quality faculty and engaging learning environment.
