What Are the Job Possibilities Once Im Finished?
The Humanities Diploma has been designed for people who want to pursue credit study for personal satisfaction rather than to learn skills related to a specific occupation. Most people take it purely for the enjoyment of learning. However, studying the Humanities does deepen your reading, problem solving and thinking skills and several people in the program have found that having or working towards the diploma has helped their career plans. For example, it helped one student get into the RCMP, a lifelong dream. Another student mentioned that she was taking the HDP in a job interview, the interviewers were impressed and she got the job. With more emphasis in the business world on the importance of hiring people who can respond to change, and who know how to learn, there is more recognition that people who have studied the humanities have these broader skills.
