Certificate
The Personal Support Worker (PSW) program teaches students the skills required to provide or assist with personal care for the elderly, the chronically ill, and persons with accessibility challenges. These patients may live in the community, in long-term care facilities, or in select ambulatory care settings.
The two-semester Personal Support Worker (PSW) certificate program teaches students the full range of skills required to assist clients with their personal and household needs in order to ensure their comfort and safety.
PSWs provide or assist with personal care for:
- the frail elderly
- the chronically ill
- people with physical disabilities living in the community
- people in long-term care facilities
- people in select ambulatory care settings
- people in acute medical and surgical settings
- people receiving palliative care

Personal Support WorkerIn the one-year Welding Techniques program, you’ll create an e-portolio for potential employers, demonstrating the skills you’ve developed. Employment opportunities in the welding trade span several industries, including transportation, petrochemical, oil and gas, aerospace, fabrication, manufacturing, pipelines, mining, and construction.
This experiential program will help you master five of the most common types of welding processes:
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW): This process uses a consumable electrode covered with flux. It is the primary type of welding used in the maintenance and repair industry. Arc welding is usually used to weld iron and steel, although it can also be used for alloys (aluminum, nickel, etc.).
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW): This welding process uses electricity to melt and join pieces of metal together. It is generally regarded as one of the easiest types of welding to learn. It is also called Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). It can be used to weld a variety of metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper, bronze, etc.
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW): The process uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode that delivers the current to the welding arc. The tungsten and weld puddle are protected and cooled with inert gas, typically argon or helium. It is most commonly used for welding stainless steel and non-ferrous metals like aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys.
- Plasma Arc and Oxyfuel Cutting: This process uses an electrode and compressed gas, forced at high speeds through a nozzle, usually copper, to cut metal, primarily mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Oxyfuel cutting uses fuel gases combined with oxygen to cut metals, usually steel.
- Fabrication: Metal fabrication is the building of metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling processes. It is a value-added process that involves the construction of machines and structures from various raw materials.

Cloud Computing TechnologiesWith more businesses putting their data into the cloud, the ability to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets is vital to their success and survival. Cyber security professionals are critical in protecting business assets in all areas of our economy, and we created the Cyber Security one-year graduate certificate program to meet the high demand for cyber security and related IT security professionals across multiple sectors––including consulting services, finance, and healthcare.
As a student in the one-year Cyber Security graduate certificate program, you’ll begin with learning the theory and practical skills you need to become a cyber security professional, including the differences and similarities between cyber security and hacking. You’ll learn about the primary attack surfaces (physical, social, electronic), methods for compromising the attack surfaces, and how to mitigate vulnerabilities.
In the third semester, you will be taught advanced techniques in ethical hacking incident response. A capstone group project will give you a chance to showcase your skills and talents for potential employers. These skills include:
- digital forensics and incident response management
- ethical hacking and analyzing malware
- delivering security training
- applying cryptography
