Welcome To LINKS Institute
If you’re interested in entering the health & social service field as a support worker, you’ve just arrived home. LINKS Institute is your source for certificate level training by professionals designed to give you what you need to start or boost your career.
LINKS Institute is an online learning environment where you can obtain a community support worker certificate in as little as 6 months. There are two certificates to choose from: mental health, and harm reduction. The Institute has been developed in such a way as to reduce as many barriers as possible for Manitobans seeking education.
- Learn online. No need to relocate to a larger community centre to purse education after high school.
- Learn quickly. Unlike traditional diplomas or degrees that might require a commitment of years, certificate programs at LINKS can be completed in as short a time as 6 months.
- Learn at your pace. A combination of live lectures, online discussion boards and readings make it possible for you to complete your weekly work at your own speed.
- Receive credit where credit is due. Many students take a university or college course without knowing what their ultimate career aspirations are. Some courses might be taken but never utilized towards a full degree. As a LINKS Institute certificate is easily attainable (with hard work!), you’ll receive credit in return for a short 6-month commitment.
