Your future starts with LINKS Institute
LINKS Institute is your source for certificate level training in Community & Social service work, with flexible study options offered by PhD’s and Masters in related fields.
LINKS Institute is an online career college where you can obtain a community support worker certificate in as little as 6 months. There are three programs to choose from, and our programs are developed in such a way as to reduce as many barriers as possible for Manitobans seeking education.
- LINKS Institute is a registered & approved institute with the Province of Manitoba
- Learn online. No need to move to a larger community centre to purse education.
- Learn quickly. Our programs can be completed in as short a time as 6 months.
- Learn by day or evening. Classes are available during both the day and the evening: whichever works best for you.
- 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.
