Community Support Worker Certification Program
Overview
The Community Support Worker Certificate Program is an unemployment training program that will train and certify unemployed persons to be Community Support Workers who work with people with developmental disabilities.
They genuinely love people and want them to achieve their career goals
Every interaction I have had with Bob and his team has been great. Immediately you can tell that they genuinely love people and wish them to achieve their career goals. The skills and knowledge you can learn from him will not only be of great use while performing your job hunt but also in your career and life in general. I would highly recommend any job seeker to meet with Bob because while he can provide you with extremely effective tools to land a good job he also has the natural ability to tap into the potential of each person he interacts with.

Course Outline
The Community Support Worker Certificate Program is a combination of 5 courses that equal 200 hours of training and certification for participants.
Community Support Workers (CSW) work with people with developmental disabilities and provide outreach and family support as their clients find employment, live independently in their communities, participate in recreation and leisure activities, grow personally and professionally. There currently is a significant shortage of Community Support Workers in many communities across BC; Our Community Support Worker Training is helping to address this shortage.
