Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Fanshawe College to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students in this program will develop an understanding of the process, issues, and techniques involved in developing a compensation system. Students will learn both the theoretical and applied aspects of the compensation function; develop and recommend strategies that link the compensation function to the goals of the organization; as well as develop and recommend compensation and reward systems that are necessary to attract, retain and motivate the required workforce.
