Leadership Skills SHSM Certification

Overview:

A Leadership Skills certification is a powerful addition to many Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs in Ontario. As students prepare for co-op placements, post-secondary pathways, and future careers, developing strong leadership abilities helps them stand out and contribute more confidently in any environment. This training introduces learners to practical, accessible leadership tools that empower them to recognize their strengths, develop their voice, and positively influence the people around them.

Leadership Skills training teaches students what effective leadership looks like in real-world settings — from communication and teamwork to decision-making and accountability. Participants learn how to raise awareness of their natural strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and understand how personal mindset influences performance. Students explore ways to create positive, collaborative environments while learning strategies to motivate themselves and inspire others. Through interactive activities and relatable scenarios, learners discover how leadership is not a title, but a set of skills they can apply in school, workplaces, volunteer roles, and everyday life.
