The Gerontology Certificate Program provides students with the knowledge and skills for not only understanding, but also successfully working with and on behalf of older clients. Emphasis is on services for elders using a holistic, quality-focused and inter-professional approach aimed at reaching safe and optimal level of functioning. In addition, students will be provided the skill set to become leaders as elder-advocates. In order for students to be eligible to complete clinical placement, which is a mandatory component of education, specific clinical requirements must be satisfied, and documentation submitted by the due date identified for the program. The absence of documentation for any requirements or failure to submit the requirements by the expected due date will result in the student being withdrawn from the course in which clinical placement is an element. Tuition will not be refunded if access to clinical placement is denied.<br><br>Job opportunities will depend on the educational background prior to specializing in Gerontology with this certificate and include: Retirement Homes, Senior Centres, Home Care, Long Term Care Facilities, Hospitals, Community Organizations, and Non-Profit Agencies.
