Developmental Services Worker Apprenticeship Certificate
Description
A developmental services worker (DSW) supports people who have a physical and/or developmental disability to enhance their capacity to participate in all aspects of community living, and supports the full inclusion of Ontarians with developmental disabilities in society.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
The apprenticeship program is for people interested in completing the Developmental Services Worker certificate while working in the field. The Developmental Services Worker certificate program allows the student flexibility to take courses without the requirement of classroom attendance.
In order to take courses in the apprenticeship program, the student must have an employer that is willing to sponsor them as a DSW apprentice, and enter into an apprenticeship training agreement with the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD). Students are only eligible to take courses after registering with MLTSD.
Upon successful completion of the program, the student will receive a Developmental Services Worker Certificate of Apprenticeship from the MLTSD. Those who complete the apprenticeship certificate program are encouraged to continue their studies to obtain the Developmental Services Worker Diploma. Bridging to the DSW diploma requires the completion of additional courses through distance and a placement. Further details will be provided as you continue through the program.
