The certificate exposes participants to a range of trades and career options through career-exploration activities, with an emphasis on workplace safety, skills upgrading and job readiness. Training includes hands-on learning, safety instruction, mentorship from industry professionals and site tours at employer workplaces. Participants also build their resumes and practise interview and job-search skills, alongside team-building ability.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Women in Trades Training Certificate is a labour-market-funded eligibility programme rather than a graded academic admission: Camosun's page states an applicant is right for it if they are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or protected person under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act legally entitled to work in Canada, living in British Columbia, not a full-time student (not enrolled in high school or post-secondary training), and not actively participating in another provincially or federally funded labour-market program. On top of residency and status, applicants must be unemployed, working fewer than 20 hours a week, or precariously employed, as the page's detailed definitions set out. The page states no course grade, English-language test score, or age condition, and directs enquiries to [email protected].
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.
