Diploma in Early Childhood Education

at Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology Canada

Do you want to take your professional experience to the next level? This foundational credential is designed for both internationally educated students and experienced Canadian individuals who do not have a background in business principles, and students who may need advanced skills to move into or expand on management careers. Students will examine introductory business, economics, finance and management practices, with an emphasis on applied concepts typically encountered in Canadian workplaces.

The Business Management certificate can be used as a prerequisite for admission to MITT Post-Graduate Diploma programs. Students that complete this 12-month program will receive advanced standing for the first term of a diploma. That means you will already have the credits for the first four courses, and will earn a one-term scheduled academic break before continuing your studies.

This makes it possible to apply for two post-graduate programs at once—the Business Management Certificate plus a diploma of your choice. Progression to the diploma is based on successful completion of the certificate.

Whether your goal is to become a CEO, better manager or more effective team member, leadership is the key. This program will provide you the opportunity to develop your critical thinking and communication skills by focusing on essential knowledge of topics like ethics, project management and conflict resolution. As a graduate of this program, you will be well positioned to leverage your previous experience and newly acquired competencies into leadership and management positions in a wide variety of sectors and organizations.

For internationally educated students, the diploma is a great opportunity to build on an existing career in any professional field by obtaining Canadian education and social context that will make you more attractive to local employers.

Note: The Diploma is an enhancement of the former Leadership and Mangament Certificate program, designed to upgrade the quality of our leadership training and graduate outcomes.
