Social Service Worker

The program is practitioner oriented, preparing graduates to explore new roles in community, health, educational and institutional environments. Throughout the program, you will complete 600 hours of field placement in a variety of social settings which will integrate skills you acquired through your academic courses, assignments and research. The program works closely with local social service agencies, to keep current, for curriculum development and field work. Professional Social Service Worker courses are usually offered in the evenings with two components of field work which may be completed during the weekday/evening and/or weekend. Both the full-time studies and the Faculty of Continuing Education and Training (FCET) programs generally cover the same academic content. Full-time students wishing to take FCET courses toward their diploma are encouraged to consult with their full-time program coordinator to ensure that the courses for which they intend to register are equivalent to their academic program. New students are strongly encouraged to attend an information session to find out important information about the program.
