Compassion and understanding. Dignity and respect. Work that is rewarding and meaningful, from start to finish.
You already have a social sciences degree or a Human Services diploma, and you’re ready to start serving the community. With the fast-track Social Services Worker program, in just 10 months you’ll complete all academic and field practicum components. You’ll build on a sound knowledge of human behaviour, individual and social problems, and you’ll learn proven helping techniques to prepare you for social service work in social agencies and social welfare programs. You’ll role-play and take part in counselling labs, case studies and learn from professional social workers and clients to take your skills to the next level.
You’ll use those skills in a variety of field placements in London, a community that has extensive social service and health community resources. When you graduate, you’ll be prepared to work in community development, crisis intervention, and in anti-violence, corrections, addictions and education settings. You’ll also be eligible for admission into the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
Make a difference every day. Allow your compassion to work for you and the community.
