Education and Employment Access Certificate

About this programme

If you're a student living with a learning difference or a social, physical or mental health challenge we can help you transition from high school to post-secondary education or meaningful employment. This certificate program helps students learn skills to succeed in their future education and/or vocational goals. Students will finish with a personal portfolio, educational and employment-related certifications, strategies for success in first-year courses, and current work experience in a sector related to their vocational interests. Through assessment, classroom work and individualized support, students explore career and education options, set goals and create a specific plan to achieve them. The final stage of your program is testing the skills you have gained over the last six months in a six-week work experience practicum, arranged by CapU faculty. In this program, you'll take specialized courses to improve your career chances. Training includes general employability skills - job searching, resume writing, mock interviews - as well as practical communication skills and assistance transitioning from high school to post-secondary.
