“Queen’s IRC programs are great because they offer in-depth knowledge of real-world labour relations issues and best practices. The variety of participants from across Canada and across industries all share common experiences, whether from the management, HR, or union perspective, and create lively, relevant exchanges. The facilitators and speakers are excellent and well-versed in actual case studies. The learning experience is enriched by interactive role-playing sessions that are interesting and relevant. "
