Education and Training Institute


YWCA Toronto's Education and Training Institute is our response to the need for high quality, current and affordable vocational programs for women and gender diverse individuals.

The institute opens its doors with post-secondary Office Administration career courses. In the near future, the institute will offer selective courses in management, customer service, leadership and communication skills.

This new initiative adds another step to YWCA Toronto's 150 year old tradition of providing women with working skills and professional development opportunities. Join us and build your success here. We can help you!

Testimonial


"The programs at YWCA Toronto are great! One of the reasons I came here was because it was catered to women. Knowing that I was going to be with other women that can relate to what I’m going through is great."
