CPHR Manitoba
CPHR Manitoba is the exclusive certifying body in Manitoba for the nationally recognized Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation – the leading standard for HR professionals in Canada. Our mission is to advance the human resources profession. We work to achieve that by promoting the brand and supporting CPHRs in their professional development to foster public confidence in the designation and demonstrate the value of HR to business.
What is a CPHR?
Achieve HR Excellence. Become a CPHR.
As a human resource (HR) professional, you will be a leader in your field. Employers, colleagues and clients will turn to you for strategic advice, clear guidance, and leadership on all aspects of HR.
The CPHR designation signifies that an individual has achieved and continues to actively demonstrate mastery of the CPHR competency framework. Through a national examination and assessment process, each CPHR designate must demonstrate the core competencies relevant to the HR profession.
“I encourage anyone considering becoming a CPHR to make this commitment to their future. I achieved my CPHR designation in 2006, to demonstrate my commitment and passion for the human resources profession. As a CPHR, my network, knowledge and confidence grew monumentally and within six years, I advanced from an HR Specialist role to Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.”

A Career in Business x Finance
What types of jobs are in business x finance?
A career in finance isn’t all about money, though it starts there. For the business graduate, earning a degree is just the beginning. What’s left is to take a closer look at the available career options and then to measure which industry sectors have the greatest need for new professionals. It’s also important to consider your own interests and strengths as you discern the type of work that you’d enjoy and at which you would excel.
- The Financial Services Industry
- Financial Planning
- Corporate Finance
- Commercial Banking
- Investment Banking
- Hedge Funds
- Private Equity, Venture Capital
- Insurance
- Public Accounting
- & Many More
Making the Right Choice
To effectively pursue jobs with the highest probability of success, you must measure the demand for the position. Do the research first to discover your options. The time spent uncovering the most interesting possibilities can be time saved working in a job that just doesn’t fit.
Different financial jobs require different skills and present vastly different work environments, so it’s wise to select one that aligns with your long-term interests and abilities. Someone with solid interpersonal skills, for example, might do well as a financial advisor, while someone who enjoys crunching numbers might do better in public accounting.
Finding Your Fit
Financial jobs exist at almost every company in almost every industry. There are two ways to find openings—online and offline—and it’s a good idea to use both methods. Keep in mind that financial jobs are highly specialized, so generic job boards are not the best places to seek such positions. When looking offline, specialized executive recruiters (headhunters) can be excellent resources for both financial job opportunities and career advice. Your university’s alumni association can also be very helpful by putting you in touch with industry insiders who are willing to provide insight and sometimes job leads.
Industry conferences and other networking events are also great places to look for financial jobs. Concerning networking, never forget the value of personal interaction—everyone you meet could know someone who knows of a job opening. Keep your avenues of communication open by following up in a professional, yet personal way, with every contact—write a thank-you email or forward an article of common interest.
