Why take a Graduate Certificate in Canada?

A graduate certificate is a short course of study above an undergraduate diploma and below a Master’s degree. If you already have an undergraduate diploma or degree, here are a few reasons why you may want to pursue a graduate certificate in Canada:

1. Short return on investment:
   Most certificates generally take one year or less to complete, whereas a graduate degree can take 2 or more years to complete.
2. Upgrade your skills:
   Regardless of the field you are working in, it is important to keep your skills up to date. With a graduate certificate you can gain new skills, expand your knowledge or transition to an entirely new career. Popular graduate certificates include Project Management, International Business Management, Public Relations, and Supply Chain Management.
3. Specialized training:
   Some  certificates offer specialized training components such as an internship or co-op placement. These paid or unpaid work placements allow you to work in your field as part of your studies. Work experience in your field can make you more competitive after you graduate.
4. Expand your network:
   When you take a certificate, you are able to network with other professionals from a wide range of fields. Being exposed to other professionals can help expose you to new opportunities.
5. Prepare for a Graduate Degree:
   There are some certificate programs that can help prepare you for a graduate degree.
   If you are thinking of upgrading your skills in a short period of time, a graduate certificate in Canada may be right for you.
