Certificate in Personal Growth for Workplace Effectiveness (2010)

"My first course whetted my thirst for learning," says David Cunnin, a U of C Continuing Education student and graduate. "And Cont Ed gave me many possibilities to explore."

When David moved to Calgary in 2005, he enrolled in a creative writing course. All he wanted at the time was an interesting pastime to help him settle into his new location. That was his introduction to U of C Continuing Education, and the beginning of an amazing relationship. Today, he continues to be a student in the Professional Management Certificate program. Since completing that first course, he has earned his Human Resources Management Certificate, his Newfield Coaching Certification, and a Personal Growth for Workplace Effectiveness Certificate—all through Cont Ed.

When David came to Calgary, he worked in a position that included some HR duties. Not having any training in that field, and having just discovered Continuing Education, he decided to enrol in the Human Resources Management Certificate Program.

While pursuing his HR studies, he came across Newfield's Coaching Certification program—a program he felt would complement his new HR training. "In my job, I'd had the experience of being coached, so it interested me."

"With the help of life coaching, I realized I wanted to try a new path."

Today, David is setting up a coaching practice and hopes to work with local organizations. He believes Cont Ed has given him what he wanted.
