New courses in Communications being offered virtually
The courses will be taught by subject matter experts who are also experienced practitioners in their field, including the Franco-Ontarian musical trio Les Chiclettes.
“Communications are increasingly important in the context of the current pandemic,” according to Marc Despatie, Director – Communications, Strategic Planning, and Government Relations at Collège Boréal. “These four courses each offer an opportunity to sharpen specific communication tools.”
The four courses being offered are:
Rédaction d’affaires with Annik Chalifour, journalist and professor
Whether you run a business, manage an organization or work in the public service, this course is designed to help you write more effectively in French.
Conversation espagnole with Luis Fonseca, flight attendant and globetrotter
Learn the basics of the Spanish language with a passionate native speaker. You will be able to hold your own while conversing in the language of Cervantes and García Lorca.
Gestion d’association with community organizer Serge Paul
Learn various techniques to ensure your organization is successful. Elaborate and implement effective communication plans and deploy the tools to achieve results.
Expression pour divers médiums with Les Chiclettes
The well-known musical trio will share the secrets to win over audiences, be it in person, through sound, or with video. Learn how to feel at ease on stage or in front of the camera.
Note that all these courses are being offered in French.
Courses will be offered online, using the same digital platform that is used by Collège Boréal for its post-secondary programs and corporate training. The courses will therefore be accessible from anywhere in Ontario.
