Our Community Support Worker program equips students with the skills and competence needed for a challenging but rewarding career in this field.
Community and social service workers administer and implement a variety of social assistance programs and community services including life skills workshops, substance abuse treatment programs, support programs, and more.
A career in this field involves working with vulnerable groups including homeless persons, children with special needs, Indigenous peoples, pregnant teenagers, and people with substance abuse problems and addictions.
This program is a condensed version of our Community Support Worker – Social Services program.
Graduates will be trained to help clients manage personal and social complications through one-on-one and group support. Graduates will also be trained to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment programs by tracking clients’ behavioural changes and responses to interventions.
This program includes a practicum placement so students can gain relevant work experience before graduation.
