Community Support Worker students in class at the Herzing College Winnipeg campus
Thinking about a career in social services, but don’t want to invest four years in a university degree? You’re probably leaning toward Community Support Worker training.
There are quite a few colleges offering this program (or something similar) across Canada. Most students do their research, compare all the programs, read all the reviews, and try to figure out which school is right for them.
William Rapisarda teaches the online Supply Chain Management program at Herzing, and is an Associate Category Manager with Cabela's Canada
We started offering a Supply Chain Management program at Herzing a couple of years ago, when we saw big demand in the field across Manitoba.
But the truth is, not many people are aware of how fast this industry is growing...or what supply chain management even is!
We got so many questions about the training, career path, and job options that we decided to bring in an expert to answer them.
Who better to ask than William Rapisarda? He teaches the Supply Chain Management program at Herzing and has been working in the field for almost 25 years.

“If you want to make it in broadcasting, you can’t be a one-trick pony.” Wise words from Winnipeg broadcasting guru and Herzing instructor, Bev Edmondson.
Anyone who's studied with Bev over the past 20 years has heard this piece of advice over and over in her classroom. And it’s more true now than ever!
The world of broadcasting has changed dramatically since the dawn of the internet. Gone are the days when radio and television were your only two options.
From podcasts to YouTube to virtually limitless possibilities for content production on social media—there are so many new ways to tell stories and share news.
Broadcasting has come a long way over the last 20 years. The internet and new forms of digital media have completely changed the way we produce, share, and consume news. They've even changed what we consider news.
Where traditional broadcasting training focused on radio and television, new programs are expanding to include other key channels - like podcasting, YouTube, and the wide world of social media content production.
Dreaming of a career in broadcasting? There are more career options now than ever before.

Think the broadcasting industry is impossible to break into, and you'll never land a decent job straight out of college?
Been told that your goal of becoming an on-air host or reporter is just a pipe dream?
Meet Austin Siragusa. He's living proof that breaking into broadcasting (and landing a great job) isn't so far-fetched after all.
Austin landed his first broadcasting gig before he even completed Herzing's training program in 2016.
Accidents on job sites and work-related deaths are a major problem in Canada. The official numbers from the Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada say 1000 people die every year on-the-job.
But industry studies suggest this number is actually much higher—close to 10x higher than those official reports claim (because not all incidents get reported to a compensation board).
Every year on April 28th, Canada observes a national day of mourning for workplace tragedies. This day serves to remind us of the pain and suffering caused by jobsite injuries and deaths—to families, loved ones, and entire communities.
It’s also a stark reminder that many of these accidents are preventable.
Have you thought about pursuing a career in community services or social work, but are too busy to go back to school?
Don’t want to quit your job to complete a diploma?
You’re definitely not alone. In fact, most college students work while they study, and many are parents who juggle work, family, and training.
For the past few years, we’ve been working on making more of our diploma programs available online. We call it Flex-Ed—but it boils down to better options for busy people who want to train for new careers.
