Business & Management

Is it time to update your professional skills to advance your career?  Look no further as we have a growing list of business and management courses to choose from.  

COVID-19 safety update: Depending on the course or program Professional Development and Training may offer in-person classes.  We want to ensure the safety of our students and instructors for in-person classes; therefore, we have strict health and safety protocols in place.  

Contract Training 

The Faculty of Management offers contract training in areas such as leadership, supervisory skills, conflict management, and employee engagement.  We can customize training to suit your business needs. We are always looking for new course ideas to support our community of learners.  If there are subject areas that you are interested in but are not offered at this time,  please email the PD and T office at  FOM_PDT@viu.ca
