Graduate Certificate in Waste Resource Management - Environmental and Graduate Certificate in Emergency Management and Business Continuity (Bundle Program) Fleming College - Frost Campus (Lindsay), Canada

Waste Resource Management - Environmental
Are you passionate about the environment, with a strong belief in sustainable practices? In this unique, post-graduate program you will learn to develop and implement innovative waste management plans and strategies based on new and emerging technologies and concepts.

Program Highlights
Waste is one of the leading problems of our time – increasing waste volumes, increasing severity of impact and costs of waste management and the challenge of managing waste in developing countries and emerging markets are causing a dramatic shift in waste management practices within Ontario and world-wide. Countries around the globe are moving towards a circular economy and waste has to be dealt with in new, innovative ways rather than simply sending it to landfill. The new Waste-Free Ontario Act makes producers responsible for their waste management. Failure to take action in managing waste has economic, environmental, social as well as health and safety implications, including toxic discharge leading to pollution, increased greenhouse gas emissions, increased frequency of illnesses, and the loss of valuable resources.

The Sustainable Waste Management program is being offered exclusively at the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences - it is the only college program in Ontario that is focused on building advanced knowledge and skills in sustainable waste management.

• The training will lead graduates to meaningful careers. You will be well-versed in the relevant legislation and existing as well as emerging technologies, with the skills to effect changes in how business and industry manage their waste and how to move them beyond the three R’s of waste management.
• The program focusses on solid waste management, but does include courses that address hazardous waste management.

Emergency Management and Business Continuity
Emergency Management and Business Continuity Professionals plan for, respond, and work to manage natural, technological and human-caused disasters. Acquire the knowledge, skills, and hands-on training to promote resilience and ensure enterprises and communities continue to function, recover and thrive.

Our three-semester Emergency Management and Business Continuity program is ideally suited for working professionals and those interested in pursuing a new career in a dynamic and growing field.

You'll attend in-class experiential weekend sessions three times each semester at The Loomex Group (located at the Peterborough Airport), while the balance of course work is completed online.

Emergency Management and Business Continuity professionals are trained to prepare for loss of critical business functions. This can result from cyber-attack, data breaches, supply chain disruption, security incidents or natural disasters such as wildfires, flooding, pandemics, hazardous chemical spills, and other disasters that endanger the health, and the survivability of public and private organizations.
