Humber Polytechnic has launched the Project Coordinator for Construction (PCC) micro-credential in partnership with CourseCompare and in collaboration with Pomerleau. The training program is designed to address a critical skills gap in Canada’s construction sector while supporting the country’s urgent housing and infrastructure goals.
Designed around real-world demands, the 16-hour course prepares learners will the skills needed as a project coordinator. The course combines technical instruction with simulations led by experienced industry professionals, and is supported by CourseCompare’s education platform, which integrates labour market mapping, high-intent audience targeting and a data-driven recruitment strategy to connect organizations and learners with in-demand training opportunities.
“Canada faces a once-in-a-generation building challenge,” said Frank Cappadocia, dean of Continuous Professional Learning at Humber Polytechnic. “To restore housing affordability and deliver the infrastructure Canadians need, we must train the right people for the right jobs. This program provides a fast, practical, and scalable solution that’s been built with the sector, for the sector.”
To equip the sector with actionable insights, CourseCompare produced a strategic insights report based on interviews with construction leaders from Pomerleau, Orion Construction and industry groups like Building Transformations and BuildForce Canada, highlighting the core competencies for project coordinators in Canada.
“There’s a growing recognition that project coordinators are essential to scaling Canada’s construction capacity,” said Robert Furtado, CEO of CourseCompare. “Our job is to connect that industry need with motivated learners—and to support employers in building stronger, more efficient job sites through targeted education and workforce engagement.”
“Ideal training includes real-world examples,” said Greg Cicovacki, online course developer at Humber Polytechnic. “When instruction reflects what actually happens on-site, it’s easier for learners to engage, apply what they’ve learned, and step into the role with confidence.”
Available on demand to employers looking to upskill new hires or help team members transition into coordination roles, the program is delivered in a flexible, hybrid format to minimize disruption and maximize site impact.
While exact pricing for the course is determined on a partner-by-partner basis, based on the size and number of cohorts an organization looks to register, tuition for a group of up to 12 learners is estimated at $7,999 CAD.
Construction firms interested in offering the PCC micro-credential to their teams can access the program directly through CourseCompare.
