ASET Technology Alberta Summer 2021 - 25

management certificate program
" As a member of ASET Council, I learned of similar stories
from other members, many feeling a little lost midcareer
and not knowing what to do, " said Whelan who
is also a facilitator for productivity enhancement services
at NAIT's department of continuing education.
When ASET decided to proceed with a management
certificate program, Whelan helped broker the deal with
NAIT and SAIT.
" I imagined NAIT and SAIT would be open to welcoming
back alumni to support them in the next stage
of their careers and to producing a certificate program
designed with technicians and technologists in
mind, " added Whelan.
Industry and subject matter experts were eventually
gathered together to discuss what competencies
should be expected of ASET members on completion
of the certificate program. Hiring and engineering
department managers from various sectors were
then invited to consult and advise ASET as to what
skills and knowledge they were seeking in engineering
technologists when hiring them for, or promoting
them to, management positions.
NAIT - Management for Technology Professionals
As a result of their respective consultation processes,
NAIT and SAIT were able to engineer their own versions
of the management certificate program and debut
them this spring.
" At last, ASET members keen on landing management
positions will have the opportunity to know first-hand
what skills sets and, subsequently, what courses are
required to breach the divide between non-management
and management, " said Cavanaugh.
NAIT's program, management for technology professionals,
consists of 11 courses and 156 hours
of course work. Students have up to three years to
complete the foundations certificate program but
should be able to do it within a year if they maximize
scheduled classes. The advanced certificate program
is shorter: nine courses and 112 hours. However,
students must finish the foundations certificate
program to qualify for the advanced certificate
program as it is intended to be a scaffolding of skills
from one certificate program to the next.
