The Loyalist Business programs are an interactive experience – allowing you to explore a broad mix of business options. Communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, interpersonal and organizational skills are developed in all years of the program. Through community partnerships you will apply your skills to real-world projects. Examples include conference co-ordination, training program design, recruitment strategy development, market analysis, marketing plan creation, or conducting an operational productivity audit. These individual and team projects give you demonstrated experience, and provide you with valuable connections to potential employers. In addition, a four-week internship helps to build a network of business contacts and can assist you in launching your career.

The two-year program provides graduates with the skills for entry-level positions within business, industry, not-for-profit and retail sectors. Positions include Shift Supervisor, Logistics Coordinator, Event Coordinator, Retail Manager and Production Supervisor. Graduates of the three-year program come away with specialized skills in human resources, preparing you for careers in human resource administration, industrial relations, training and development, staff planning and job analysis, and occupational health and safety. Graduates gain advanced standing for the Certified Human Resources Professional designation which is recognized across Canada.
