WINNIPEG, MB – University of Winnipeg Division of Continuing Education students, Denise Grondin and Marion Henry achieved top scores in Manitoba on the Certified Human Resource Professional National Practice Exam on October 4, 2008. Grondin, who achieved the top score (95), and Henry, who tied for second highest score (90), both recently completed the Human Resource Management program offered through the Professional Studies Program Area at the Division of Continuing Education in October 2008.

Competitive Edge
“Denise and Marion are two of our best DCE students,” said program coordinator Colleen Little. “They have decided to take steps to strengthen their skill set and DCE has given them the tools and support to succeed. With these top scores and their newly acquired CHRPTM designation through the human resource management program, they now have a competitive edge within the job market.”

Highest Qualification

The CHRP designation represents a commitment to a national standard of excellence, sets a benchmark for the practice of effective human resources, and emphasizes the strategic role of HR Management in business. It is a national designation, portable from one province to another and granted provincially.
