Harvard Management Training at Your Fingertips

The Calgary HR Initiative is pleased to offer Calgary's nonprofits, charities and voluntary organizations access to an outstanding, self-directed management training and development program called Harvard ManageMentor, which is affiliated with the Harvard School of Business, one of the most respected business institutions in the world.

The Harvard ManageMentor program enables the nonprofit sector in Calgary and area to receive flexible, affordable, world-class management training. Delivered online, the program includes excellent resources consisting of 42 modules covering a wide range of management topics, interactive case studies, expertise from renowned management professionals, and a wide array of practical tools. Further program details can be found here or by contacting Jackie Coe at the Calgary Chamber of Voluntary Organizations for more information: 403.261.6655 or email jcoe@calgarycvo.org.

Harvard ManageMentor adds value to your organization by:

  • Providing flexible, professional, reputable, applicable and cost-effective training at your fingertips anytime of the day.
  • Centralizing access to educational content that is applicable to all organizations - large or small - with advanced materials for those who require them.
  • Allowing supervisors the freedom to develop individual professional development plans based on the materials which are most relevant to their organizational focus and management development goals.
  • Offering free peer learning sessions on selected topics. (Attendees will be required to complete a specific module prior to these discussions.)

Program Costs:

Traditionally, Harvard ManageMentor has been offered only through private and public organizations with large workforces. The Calgary HR Initiative has developed an agreement to act as an umbrella organization to allow multiple nonprofit groups to access the training program and get the same cost discounts previously available only to much larger organizations. In addition, Harvard is offering a further 20% discount for charitable organizations.

The cost for Harvard ManageMentor is $242 CND for one year of world-class management training, or approximately $20 per month. Once an organization signs a "Schedule" to participate, the rate is firm for the duration of the licence.
NOTE: CHRI does not receive any compensation - financial or otherwise - for offering this program to the nonprofit sector.

How to Register:

Once an organization decides Harvard ManageMentor will meet its professional development needs the following steps must be taken:

  1. A representative from the organization must contact Doug Ross from Employee Development Learning Solutions (EDLS) by calling 250.656.3217 or emailing dross@edls.com. EDLS is a Harvard Premiere partner that represents Harvard in Canada.
