Non-Profit Management | |
| Canada has one of the largest and most vibrant non-profit and voluntary sectors in the world, with 161,000 organizations representing $79.1 billion or 7.8% of the GDP and employing two million Canadians. Focused on service delivery rather than profit, these organizations come with unique challenges and complex problems and require distinct management structures. For example, how do you market a food bank to prospective donors on a limited budget? How do you build a successful staff and volunteer base? How do you attract the necessary private and public donations in a competitive climate?
This joint certifcate with the Schulich School of Business - a leader in non-profit management education in Canada - will provide you with an understanding of the distinct needs of non-profit organizations. You will take courses in diverse disciplines such as social sciences, math, economics, public administration and marketing. Ultimately, this certificate will enable you to function effectively in any number of positions within the burgeoning non-profit sector. | |
