Help people promote their rights and meet their responsibilities in ways that empower them.
Our curriculum is reviewed and updated regularly to ensure relevancy. Skilled, committed faculty with real-life work experience in the human services field will deliver your courses with a special focus on promoting equality to address disadvantages people face on the basis of race, disabilities, gender and sexual orientation. Examine human behaviour and development. Develop interviewing and counselling skills and improve your communication skills and ability to work with groups and communities so they can better support their members.
We receive consistently excellent ratings from employers. You will graduate prepared to intervene in crisis situations and to work with a broad range of people including those experiencing domestic violence, alcoholism and drug abuse, child abuse, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress and shock due to traumatic life events.
Work in at least two different types of human service agencies and acquire over 600 hours of work experience. Your first-year placement will be comprised of two days per week. In second year, you will be at your field placement two days per week with a one-week block in October. Your final placement, in year two will be two days per week with a one-week block in March.
Faculty in the Social Services Worker program are involved in human services as consultants, policy analysts, overseas developers, and as published authors. When your professors are active outside of the program, the content of courses reflects their wealth of current/relevant experience in the field.
Qualified graduates may be eligible to apply their academic credits toward further study at many postsecondary institutions. For detailed information, refer to the Humber Transfer Guide.
