Post-Graduate Certificate - Conflict and Crisis Management (RRU)

This certificate will be of interest to recent graduates wishing to develop skills in conflict resolution, crisis management, risk management, community-based problem solving, and crisis communications. Graduates from science, social science, business, human resource, nursing, social work, and humanities will find these courses particularly engaging and helpful for working in dynamic fields where conflict and crises develop organically or in unpredictable ways. Students will learn how to identify problems, develop workable solutions that are responsive to the community they are working with, be able to mediate conflict between individuals and groups, plan and implement risk management tools and crisis management principles. This program will be particularly useful for people wishing to upgrade their skills for working in management positions as well as those seeking employment in the criminal justice or human social service sectors and business.

The Post Graduate Certificate can be completed in two terms and covers topics such as crisis intervention, community problem solving, conflict resolution, conflict negotiation, crisis intervention, crisis management, risk and risk management, and crisis communications, which will position graduates with a vital skill set necessary for positions in risk management, crisis management, mediation and conflict resolution, policing, corrections, and business leadership. By taking this program, graduates will improve their marketability skills for future employers.
