Employment Preparation

Employment Preparation Certificate

The Employment Preparation Certificate is a full-year certificate program that runs from September to August and assists you in preparing for competitive employment and community living. It combines on-campus instruction with community-based work practicums. You will work with an Employment Specialist who will provide assistance on the work site.

The program assists you to:

develop a vocational choice/goal
improve skills for getting and keeping a job
improve job-related and personal organizational skills
develop positive attitudes and habits necessary for successful employment
enhance social skills
manage a more independent lifestyle

We strongly encourage students to take Calgary Transit independently. We recommend that you book time with the Calgary Transit travel trainer immediately. Phone 403.537.7862 to book an appointment.
