Since late March, Tourism HR Canada has been working closely with our partners to offer opportunities for ongoing professional development, cross-training, and job preparation by making a select number of Emerit online modules available for free to everyone.
Response to this offer has been incredibly positive; thousands of modules have been activated and online learning is underway in all corners of the country. We’ve heard how these courses are helping people boost their skills, whether to take on new responsibilities as workplaces undergo change or to explore new opportunities once the sector begins to recover.
In light of this overwhelming interest, Tourism HR Canada has decided to make the entire Emerit online course catalogue free of charge until the end of June, with the potential to extend into the summer based on the needs of the sector.
Tourism organizations’ response to this crisis has been nothing short of astounding. We’re all in this together and relying on each other’s strengths to steer the sector through these unprecedented times.
