    Description


    A career at your command
     
    Did you know that professionals spend up to 50 per cent of their time searching for information? Today’s workplace relies on the accurate, efficient and secure management of information to meet operational demands, demonstrate legal compliance and maintain competitive advantage. Information Management (IM) is the processes and technology that controls the storage, structure, processing, access and usage of the information required for organizational and business intelligence.
     
    IM professionals organize and manage all activities involved in the information life cycle, automating processes, reducing operating costs and improving efficiencies for an organization’s bottom line. They have the technical competencies needed to effectively analyze business processes and utilize IM tools and systems.
     
    In CNA’s three-semester online Information Management post-diploma program, we provide the training ground for you to build a career in this field. You will be able to implement IM best practices in training and consultation to ensure everyone in the organization adheres to regulatory standards, including the security, legal and privacy regulations required. The program will prepare you to meet the demand in today’s rapidly changing world, and in the last semester you will have a chance to apply your knowledge in a seven-week work exposure and a capstone project.  The future is at your fingertips!
     
    Program Highlights:
    • Only IM post-diploma program in Newfoundland and Labrador
    • Engagement with industry experts and professional organizations
    • The most current knowledge in the field, designed and delivered online by industry experts
    • Includes national and international standards and important governance and compliance regulations
    • Learn how to implement information management policies and programs transforming companies to compete in a global environment
    • You are leveraging your first credential – whether it is a diploma or degree – to launch a new career in Information Management
     
    Did You Know?
    • Information helps businesses gain a competitive advantage
    • Demand for IM professionals is growing for both public and private sectors and our graduates are filling those roles

    • Instructors are members of industry organizations such as Association of Records Management and Administrators (ARMA) and International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)

    OBJECTIVES

    1. conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner  
    2. participate as a member of a team providing information management services 
    3. manage all activities involved in the information life cycle

    Students intending to complete the program on a part-time basis (less than four courses per semester) will be contacted by their advisor to create an academic plan that will enable them to complete the program. A part-time student must complete the program within five years from the date of program enrolment.
