For immediate release
Queen’s IRC Granted $1 Million by Ontario Government for Contributions to IR Practitioner Education
The Queen’s Industrial Relations Centre (IRC) received a $1 million grant from Ontario’s Ministry of Education to support its “continued work to help enhance the education and skills of the people of Ontario.”
In bestowing the grant, Deputy Minister Ben Levin recognized IRC for contributions relating to its “cutting edge programs for practitioners in industrial relations.”
These contributions, Deputy Minister Levin wrote, are demonstrated by IRC’s “undertaking research on best practices in promoting collaborative working relationships” in education; its valuable training based on that research; and its delivery of programs to school board and union leaders.
“The grant is an exciting development, one that will further advance our research — and enable us to enrich our practitioner programs with the results,” says Queen’s IRC Director Paul Juniper.
It is also a great honour, Juniper adds. “For nearly 70 years we have been offering our flagship IR program for practitioners in the public and private sectors. This grant recognizes the Centre’s powerful influence on IR in this country through its leadership in IR education.”
Since 1937, Queen’s IRC has analyzed, interpreted, and taught others about the world of people at work. Considered “Canada’s people management finishing school,” the Centre specializes in industrial relations, human resource management and organization development.
Queen’s IRC now offers an expanding number of programs that lead to three highly respected certificates, including one in Industrial Relations. It also conducts research in industrial relations, dispute resolution, change management, and high performance teams. The Centre is part of the esteemed and innovative Queen’s School of Policy Studies.
