gNED-211: ImPACT oF CULTURE oN THE CANADIAN WoRKPLACEIn this course students will explore personal, Canadian and organizational culture and the different ways these manifest themselves generally and specifically in Canadian workplaces. Newcomers in Canadian workplaces must comprehend the impact that language and behaviour will have on their ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, managers and clients. Students will explore their own values, communication styles and workplace behaviours. Students will develop their abilities by demonstrating appropriate workplace behaviours in a variety of situations such as meetings, performance reviews, daily workplace interactions, and workplace relationships. Students will become familiar with human rights legislation in Canada and the impact it has on workplace behaviour. Students will gain the knowledge and learn the expectations (often unwritten), to make informed choices about their own behaviour.

FTTB-100: BRIDgINg To TECHNoLogyIn this course, students planning careers in technology occupations will explore a number of areas that are related to success in the classroom, to finding work in a technology occupation and at keeping a job in a Canadian workplace. Newcomers in Canadian colleges and workplaces must understand the expectations of each of these distinct areas generally and specifically related to technology occupations. The course will ensure that students understand the attitudes, language and behaviours that are expected in each of these areas. Students will enhance their facility with Canadian English through classroom activities, team activities, independent study and research assignments. Occupational skills, knowledge, language and behaviour related to technology occupations will provide the context for the course.
