According to Service Canada guidelines, skills development agreements are generally for up to 52 weeks, but may be approved for a period of up to three years. Durham College offers many full-time certificate and diploma programs that meet these requirements.
For students not fully prepared to enter a career program, preparatory and academic upgrading programs are available to help you reach your goals.
The Skills Development program aims to help individuals obtain the skills necessary for employment ranging from basic to advanced skills. At Durham College, we are committed to providing job-focused programs andare the first Ontario College to guarantee our graduate's skills to employers. We offer a wide variety of undergraduate and post-graduate programs that lead to employment opportunities in the areas of health, applied science and technology, business, justice, skilled trades, communications, design and emergency services.
