Engaging for students.
Accessible for everyone. Students can now access online versions of our popular workshops and programs. Built in the spring of 2020, these brand new courses allow students to continue working towards their programs and certifications when in-person sessions aren't possible.
Our workshops are delivered via the online learning platform Thinkific. Students will have individual access to courses, the ability to complete modules on their own time, and will be provided a certificate of completion. Registration is easy and Thinkific’s web-based platform is simple to use. Certifications include the great content we're known for led by one of our friendly host facilitators. In our SPCE I.C.E. training, students witness other facilitators go through virtual processes with a community partner. To help them follow along, workbooks are provided to further facilitate activities and skills development. As always, we are sure to provide ways for our universal messages to connect with the student’s own ideas and interests. |

Online SHSM Certification Workshops
Engaging, authentic and relevant. Workshops that help students build skills for a great career!
Great customer service is an essential skill! Using activities, role-playing and stories, you’ll learn the foundations of helping customers in a friendly, positive way. Plus, we share the three things you must be in order to provide great service!
We are all capable of being leaders! We just need to develop the right skills. Broaden your perspective and explore your own definition of leadership. We’ll look at personal role models as we work through activities that put words into action.
Whether you are looking to work with cars, art, gardens, or games, a strong portfolio will set you apart! Learn how to set goals, mine past activities, and collect artifacts that communicate your skills as you work towards a career that excites you.
Projects are fun but can also be overwhelming! We’ll teach you a hands-on approach that will get any project moving. Learn about organization, modular thinking, and critical path tasks, plus tools to boost productivity and stop procrastination.
Through engaging scenarios of challenging dilemmas, we learn about the foundations of ethical behaviour. Together, we explore tough decision making, the perspectives of others, and your own moral compass.
Why is it that some people can't seem to get along? Learn to recognize working styles and how they differ between you and your peers with some help from our personality profile. You’ll become a better communicator and collaborator!
Conflict doesn’t HAVE to be terrible. In this course, we explore conflict as something to learn from rather than something we “win” or “lose”. When we focus on relationships, kindness and strength, we can resolve disagreements in a healthy way!
Effective communication is all about clarity and practice. Learn how active listening and understanding audiences will set you apart. We also share useful practices for writing, presentations, casual conversation, and "when things go wrong".
