About Graduate Certificate - International Development (20831)
Humber’s International Development graduate certificate program is designed for individuals who want to see the world and make a difference within it. This program provides graduates with the skills and knowledge required to manage, develop and grow international development and disaster relief projects anywhere in the world. Graduates may find themselves in some of the most difficult environments in the world, or they may work in developed countries changing policies to make a difference in the Global South. Faculty are chosen for their field expertise and experience in international development – most continue to work with numerous international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or United Nations agencies while teaching at Humber part time.
Students will gain industry experience and build their international development network with an eight-week (minimum) work placement within the community development, international development or humanitarian sectors. Many students choose to do this placement overseas, but it can also be done in Canada.
With the program co-ordinator’s support, placements are found through a combination of students' interests and contacts with alumni and industry partners. The educational foundation for the work placement includes learning how to optimize resumés, LinkedIn profiles and cover letters, as well as covering the broad set of skills needed to be comfortable and safe working outside of Canada.
