Students in the five-month program learn skills related to intervention and de-escalation, crisis management, Canadian law, ethics and professionalism, and workplace health and safety. Three seats in the program are reserved for BIPOC students, who will receive a full tuition subsidy. The Canada-PEI Labour Market Development Agreement and Workforce Development Agreement will provide other students with a 70% tuition subsidy.
