COMM 442

Students will develop the skills required to manage the natural resources of the province of Saskatchewan through experiential land-based learning. During condensed integrated modules explored through site visits, the course applies the functional areas of business by studying the natural resource sectors of agribusiness, oil and gas, mineral exploration and mining, forestry and renewables. Students will learn the basic characteristics of each sector and then identify current and future issues and opportunities and finally develop sustainable management practises in an effort to proactively impact the economic, social and environmental metrics of the region given local Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
