You establish a strong foundation of professional practice in areas of addiction, child welfare, community services, corrections, family and home support services, immigration and refugee services, Indigenous services, mental health, residential care, schools, and social assistance. Two 13- to 15-week practica allow you to develop job-ready skills and connect to social service agencies and community groups in your local area.
