Human Resources - Instructor-Led (Administration & Management for Child Care)
A child care program’s employees are its most important asset. By following best practices in human resources, you’re more likely to retain staff for the long term.
In this comprehensive 10-hour Human Resources course, you’ll learn how to create (and improve) HR policies & procedures, and you’ll take a deep dive into the entire employee cycle, from initial hiring and onboarding to performance management and termination. This is an essential course for leaders who want to improve or expand on their program’s operations, as well as students looking to become child care leaders in BC.
There are two components: 7 hours of instructor-led time via Zoom, and 3 hours of self-guided time (to watch videos and complete quizzes prior to the instructor-led portion). Learners are credited with 10 Pro-D hours towards ECE certification.
As part of the course, students also receive a complimentary three-month subscription to our WCCRC Administration & Management for Child Care Knowledge Base, including valuable tools and forms to use in their program.
Students must use a laptop or desktop computer to take this course; it is not possible to use a smartphone for this work.
