The Social Work Certificate is a nine-month, on-campus programme at the Castlegar campus that prepares students to support people facing crisis and hardship. Coursework builds practical skills in interviewing, counselling, communication, critical thinking and problem-solving, and is grounded in feminist, Indigenous and anti-oppressive approaches to practice. Students complete practicum placements in community agencies, gaining hands-on experience with populations affected by poverty, aging, substance use and mental health challenges. The programme admits students in the Fall term only. Selkirk College reports that up to 90 percent of graduates find stable, satisfying work in the field. Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles supporting individuals and communities, with the practicum component providing direct exposure to community-based social service settings.
