Ethical Considerations SHSM Certification

Overview:

An Ethical Considerations certification is a meaningful and versatile addition to many Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs in Ontario. Every workplace, industry, and community role involves decisions that require integrity, accountability, and awareness of how actions affect others. This training supports students in developing the critical thinking skills needed to make responsible choices in school, co-op placements, part-time jobs, and future careers.

Ethical Considerations training introduces students to the meaning of ethics from multiple perspectives, helping them understand how personal values, cultural influences, and situational factors shape decision-making. Students explore how ethical situations can shift depending on context, and they reflect on real examples from their own experiences to recognize how they respond when faced with difficult choices. The session also examines common ethical challenges across various industries, emphasizing respectful communication, fairness, confidentiality, and professional responsibility. Through relatable scenarios and practical problem-solving activities, learners gain a step-by-step understanding of how to approach ethical questions with clarity and confidence.
