*** Offered in Fall 2010 ***This Ontario College Diploma program is designed to address the growing need for skilled employees who are capable of working in all facets of the golf and ski industry, including outside technical operations and business management. Offered only at the Pembroke Campus in the heart of the Ottawa Valley and in close proximity to many golf courses and ski resort operations, the program is partnered with several local operators to provide students with a rich, hands-on learning environment.
The program includes three academic semesters. The first two semesters combine business theory and practical technical skills and prepare students for their two cooperative education placements: one in the ski industry and the other in golf. The final semester emphasizes advanced learning in the areas of management, leadership, and business development.
