Social Service Worker
This two-year Ontario College Diploma program prepares students to work empowering individuals, groups, and communities who are in the process of change and growth.
The program consists of four levels where learning occurs in both the classroom and social service agency settings. The curriculum includes courses in social service ethics, social welfare, pharmacology, addictions, mental health, and crisis intervention. Other courses focus on work with children and families, seniors, and people with disabilities.
The program specializes in rural social service work and students work in partnership with people in El Salvador through the Algonquin College SalvAide Project.
