Education Assistant & Community Support Workers at Selkirk College

Education Assistant & Community Support Workers at Selkirk College Classroom & Community Support Workers work with children and adults living with disabilities, their families, teachers and other support professionals.

Education Assistant & Community Support Worker program is a 9 month certificate program for those interested in meaningful employment working with persons with disabilities. Taught by passionate instructors with decades of experience, this course prepares participants to step into a school, community living setting, or home, of a person living with a disability, and be able to support that person

to reach their goals. As a graduate of this program a person will be qualified to be a Teaching or Education Assistant in a school, work in a group home or community living setting, be a job coach, and support people where they live, work, learn and play. Our goal as a program is to prepare people who will go out into the work and create a world so supportive of persons who move through the world differently, that eventually our jobs will be redundant. Right now, there is a high demand for people in this profession, and the personal rewards involved are great. Our goal is to shift from judgment to curiosity, and this course truly facilitates that.
