Program details
Overview
In the Occupations Launch program, you will develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that prepare you for finding and maintaining stable occupation in entry level work and/or non-paid community contributions. You will explore the values, practices and benefits related to lifelong learning and being connected to communities through meaningful contributions and esteemed roles. Each specialization can be completed in 15 weeks, and part-time study options are available. You can learn at your own pace and level, and receive ongoing guidance and support to connect with resources and occupational opportunities that reflect your abilities, interests, and values. You will apply your learning to create stability and advancement within a chosen occupational sector (paid or unpaid).
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Occupations Launch Certificate is not grade-based: Camosun's page states that all students admitted must participate in an intake conversation to determine suitability for the program and for working in an applied learning setting at the college, and that a Certificate in Sector-Specific Employment Training is advised though not stated as mandatory. No specific course, letter grade, or English-language test score is published for this certificate. Applicants are directed to contact the program coordinator to schedule the required intake conversation, after which financial-aid and registration forms are arranged.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC for Camosun's open-enrolment programmes: for Fall 2027 (September) applications open 1 October 2026 with an early deadline of 15 May 2027 for priority registration and a late deadline of 26 August 2027; Winter 2027 (January) runs 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027, and Summer 2027 (May) 15 January 2027 to 29 April 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes publish only an opening date and can close once the waitlist exceeds the seats on offer. International applicants must submit a complete application by 1 June (Fall), 1 October (Winter) or 1 February (Summer), though later applications are still reviewed while seats remain, making admission effectively rolling for both groups once the early deadlines pass. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
