CONTINUING EDUCATION

Here are upcoming Continuing Education (CE) courses available for CE credits.

New Perspectives on Mine Closure This online learning module is hosted on UBC’s learning module platform. Participants complete about 40 hours of work in eight weeks from May 4 to June 28. Two live seminars are held:

Influencing Skills April 2: 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Richmond, BC (In-person)

CE Hours: 7 hours in Communications and Leadership One’s level of influence can be dramatically improved by carefully adjusting ideas to the concerns and communication styles of others, and by formulating ideas in a compelling way. As influencing skills are used more often, resistance to change decreases along with the need to use authority/positional power, leading to stronger relationships and increased commitment. In this workshop, participants bring their own case studies and use the theory presented to hone their idea to maximize acceptance by their stakeholder group.

May 4 at 4:30 p.m. May 19 at 4:30 p.m. CE Hours: Self-reported

Mine closure is an issue of growing importance for mining companies, the communities that host operations, Indigenous peoples, and governments with regulatory oversight of closure planning. For many interested parties, there is a growing expectation that successful closure plans will go beyond remediation and short-term technical solutions to consider the complex socio-economic aspects of closure. This course will examine the social and environmental dimensions of mine closure. Registrants will take guidance from best-practice frameworks for closure, examine applied cases to analyze issues of interest, and hear from experts working in the field. Career Boost: Authentic Networking for Impact May 7: noon - 1 p.m. (online) CE Hours: 1 hour in Communications and Leadership This workshop will guide attendees on how to network with confidence and build meaningful long-term connections. Participants will learn essential networking strategies that go beyond mere introductions, focusing on creating authentic relationships that foster professional growth, and will acquire the skills to navigate networking events, leverage existing connections, and leave a lasting impression in their industry.

Energy Infrastructure Operational Technology Cybersecurity June 12: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (online) CE Hours: 7 hours in Technical

This course is designed to provide a deep dive into the critical concept of Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity, exploring its pivotal role in securing the present and future of critical energy infrastructure, especially in BC. Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of OT cybersecurity within the context of energy systems, cyber vulnerabilities that could pose potential risks to energy infrastructure integrity and functionality, and Cyber Vulnerability Scoring Systems (CVSS).
