Reputation matters
The U of A’s Faculty of Extension is widely regarded among business and government leaders for its ability to provide professional education that responds to the evolving industry needs.
All of the courses can be related to different tasks that are required in the profession. I would recommend the OHS program to anyone interested in a job in health and safety.
The program is very relevant to municipal operations.
