Program Overview
The Social Service Worker (SSW) diploma is a two-year diploma program. Students will graduate ready to help individuals, families, and communities as they cope with and work through some of life’s most stressful events. Through an anti-oppressive lens, the evidence-based curriculum delves into current social issues impacting our communities and provides students with the necessary interpersonal skills required to build and maintain relationships. Students will develop verbal and written communication skills necessary to effectively engage service users in culturally appropriate, person-centered approaches.
In our program, students are given opportunities to put theory into practice, using a collaborative approach, combined with professional labs. The final semester of the program is a 15-week placement in a social service agency. Social Service Workers focus on promoting equity and addressing oppression that people face based on race, ethnicity, disability, gender, sexuality, or age. Social Service Workers in our program will use their knowledge of systemic oppression, colonialism, and trauma to better understand the complexities inherent to the field of social services. Our program prepares students to work with people from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing stressful events in their lives from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective.
