The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Human Resources Management is a non-degree program at Okanagan College in Canada, offered in English. It's for students with a Bachelor's degree in a subject other than human resources management, and it takes two years to complete. The main advantage is that it helps students apply for exemption from the National Knowledge Exam for the Chartered Professional in Human Resources designation.

The curriculum includes subjects like management principles, financial accounting, marketing, and human resources management. Students also learn about recruitment, training, and development, as well as occupational health and safety. The program has electives in areas like conflict resolution, industrial relations, and employment law.

Graduates can pursue careers as human resources managers, recruitment specialists, training and development officers, labor relations specialists, or compensation and benefits analysts. They can work in various industries, including business, government, or non-profit organizations.
