The Dhillon School of Business has just received Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) accreditation for the Bachelor of Management in Human Resources Management and Labour Relations program. The CPHR designation is the only designation recognized by nine provinces across Canada and is aligned with the United States’ Society for Human Resource Management – the largest HR organization in the world.

The CPHR designation is the only designation recognized by nine provinces across Canada.

Human Resources Management and Labour Relations Area Chair Dr. Kelly Williams-Whitt says their graduates have always been sought by employers because of the quality of education they receive at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge. Adding a CPHR designation after graduation is another step towards a successful career.

“The CPHR designation is recognized across Canada,” she says. “It assures employers that our students’ knowledge and experience in Human Resources Management and Labour Relations aligns with industry expectations, and that they are committed to the highest standards of professional practice.”

Dhillon students who graduate after September 2018 with a Human Resources Management and Labour Relations major from the U of L can now also apply to waive the CPHR National Knowledge Exam (NKE), a requirement for individual CPHR designations. Students also only require three years of professional human resources experience to receive the full designation, whereas those who do not graduate with a degree from an accredited institution require eight years of experience.

Dean of the Dhillon School of Business, Dr. Robert Boudreau, says the recent CPHR accreditation provides Dhillon graduates with yet another real advantage in a competitive job market.

“This new accreditation from CPHR for our Human Resources Management and Labour Relations program shows once again that the Dhillon School of Business is committed to the highest quality of education for our students – an education that will be transformational and set them apart from their peers.”

This most recent accreditation comes on the heels of the school’s accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. AACSB is the largest and most recognized accreditation for business and management schools worldwide.
