Holland College are offering two more fully funded cohorts of Respite Care Professional. Next offering starts September 6th, 2025.
Respite care provides short-term and time-limited breaks for caregivers to support and maintain their primary caregiving relationship. It also provides a positive experience for people with complex needs promoting inclusion, encouraging community participation, and nourishing social health and connectivity. Designed and developed by Holland College in partnership with Your Life Design Inc. and a provincial advisory committee of industry experts, the blended 140-hour Respite Care Professional: Working with Children and Adults with Complex Needs microcredential teaches the essential skills required for individuals providing respite care.
Upon successful completion of this microcredential, participants will receive a digital badge and have the expertise and confidence to provide respite care.
