Post-Graduate Certificates

In my earlier posts I remind people that they should not be afraid of changing careers or seeking knowledge in fields other than the ones they majoured in. The idea behind this is that you may have your opinion about a career change in the future or you have another interest worth noting outside of the field you studied. Studying something alongside your majour is okay and --in my opinion-- should be encouraged since it will allow you to round out your skills more.

So how does one pursue another field of interest after graduating and receiving their degree/diploma? The answer is through post-graduate certificates. Post-graduate certificates come with a wide array of subjects and in some cases, designations. And fortunately like some undergrad programs, they also come with internship and co-op opportunities. This will allow you to sample what is out there for you in the field of your post-grad study. I would highly recommend finding post-grad programs with co-op placement as it will give you a chance to use your under-grad background with your post-grad certificate in the workplace.

In order to achieve apply for a post-graduate certificate, you must have a degree or diploma from a recognized institution. Sheridan itself offers opportunities for individuals to obtain these post-graduate certificates at all campuses. for more information about what kind of certificates are available you can visit the link below.
