Description

Who we are:

Robertson is the School of New Work. Our vision is for everyone to have a good life through a prosperous and fulfilling career. Our mission is to empower our learners with the most relevant training and up-to-date industry insights so that they may find fulfilling and meaningful careers.

Having a deep understanding of the demands of the modern workforce is integral to what we offer our learners.

That is why internally, we place such value on building a work culture that is flexible and adaptive to the changing world of work.

Our 4 day work week gives our team members a #MeDay each week to invest in themselves. We also seek out diversity in our team. We #CelebrateEverything and encourage team members to take paid time off to celebrate their cultural, religious, and spiritual holidays.

Our team is intentionally talent-dense - our strength lies in the differences in backgrounds and expertise that we each bring to the table.

As a company we are committed to uplifting indigenous voices, respecting traditional lands, raising awareness and working in collaboration with Indigenous partners in the spirit of reconciliation.

We acknowledge that our campus is located in Winnipeg on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional lands and waters of Anishinaabe [AH - NISH - AH - NAH - BAY], Ininiwak, Anishininiwak, Dakota, and Dene (DEN-EH) peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We acknowledge that our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation located on Treaty 3.
