Overview

Graduate Certificate in Management in Community Services

Community Service Organizations in Canada continue to evolve to meet our communities' diverse and changing needs. 

Succession planning is a key requirement for most organizations, creating a demand for skilled managers in the not-for-profit sector. 

This Ontario College Graduate Certificate Program at Conestoga College is uniquely designed for emerging managers in the not-for-profit sector. 

Graduates attain knowledge and skills not covered in other management programs, setting them apart from others applying for similar jobs. 

For those with experience in the community services field, this program will provide the skills that may lead to a promotion or enhance your abilities in your management role. 

You will have the opportunity to gain skills in community development and engagement, program design and evaluation, and project management. 

Human resources, financial management, principles of management, as well as sponsorship and fundraising will also be addressed in the context of not-for-profit leadership.

In this program, you will enhance your understanding of community-based social policy and public administration and gain perspectives on social, cultural and political issues with a focus on equity, inclusion and diversity. 

You will apply the skills required to be a supervisor, manager or leader through various projects, case studies, presentations and interactive learning opportunities.

You will produce individual work and work in groups with a diverse cohort of students who bring a wide breadth of experience to the classroom. 

This graduate program includes a work placement experience that allows you to gain practical experience to be “job ready” for government, community-based, and/or social service-based organizations.
