Applied Management

Institute of Applied Management

Studies are structured according to the developed educational standards and in line with the interests and needs of the socio-economic development of Canada. Online Practical classes are conducted in the so-called “virtual enterprise”. Our students of management are trained to acquire the necessary managerial skills, while classes are held in modernly equipped classrooms of the Institute.

The ultimate goal of education in our “virtual enterprise” is the acquisition of managerial and leadership knowledge coupled with entrepreneurial skills and abilities, simulating methods and techniques that take place in business processes in real companies.

The student awards are hosted every year in October when most assessments have been handed in. The main purpose is to award learners of their academic excellence and this encourages them to aspire to reach the top. The criterion for selection of winners is through their annual performance compared across different major subjects. It would be someone with the highest DP marks added compared to others. There is a runner up and a winner in all three levels and only a winner for B-tech.

The IAM student conference takes place annually and is normally organized jointly by IAM and both campuses’ departments. As a result, the venue is interchanged between FordBridge and Partners. This conference is structured to educate and inspire learners of the various critical elements of the profession, as well as skills, expertise, and behavior expectations from a Practitioner. It is therefore based on the current trends and developments in the communications industry at large and its various sectors. Guest speakers range from advanced Communication Practitioners from the private sector, the non-profit sector as well as the government sector. The speakers reflect on daily activities that they are engaged with, the challenges in such a sector as well as opportunities.

It is also the involvement of local sponsors that bring about the success of the conference. The sponsors who have been involved in previous conferences include ExpertActions Group, Organixine Active, Management & Applied Economics Review, and i-talk cellular. There are other sponsors throughout the history of this conference over years – including the Independent Journals.

Public Relations Practitioners are expected to be leaders in the communications field, as a result, every year (since 2014) around August/September the second years are taken to a leadership camp that is outside campus. This camp is facilitated by trained personnel who take learners through a variety of challenges they would face as leaders. This builds up the leadership capacity of participants through problem-solving and people’s skills since a leader have to deal with people and tasks. It is therefore regarded as a different way of learning and a different environment and setup altogether different. The places where our learners have been are L’Abri Outdoor outside Greytown center and Forest Lake.
