Human Resources and Payroll Coordinator

The Human Resources and Payroll Coordinator Diploma Program equips students with the tools necessary to meet the demands of the current job market by combining accounting and payroll skills with human resources and benefits skills. In any successful business, the most
valuable commodity is people. Individuals with skill in human resources are needed in every kind of business, across every area of specialization, as are accounting and payroll skills.


Students gain a competitive edge by fulfilling all of the core and elective course credit requirements for the Canadian Payroll Association (CPA) Certified Payroll Management Program (CPMP) at the level of Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP). Students in this program
develop their skills in accounting to a higher degree, going beyond introductory principles and practicing their skills in accounting software applications.

Our Human Resources and Payroll Coordinator program prepares students to fulfill positions that also requires human resources assistants and officers so that they can help manage this essential asset. Upon graduation, students are prepared to begin a career to work in any
business environment requiring accounting, payroll and human resources skills.

 

200 Hours of Work Experience Placements

 

The program is divided into two components – human resources and payroll – so before you graduate, complete two five-week practicum placements in both an accounting and payroll environment and a human resources department.
