This program is currently under review.
The Social Work Access program year is for students who would like employment in the social work field and require additional academic preparation for the rigors of college level studies. Program courses include English, math, personal development, computers, introduction to social work, psychology and sociology. Each of the courses will include content relevant to Northern social work. Upon successful completion of the access year, students may apply to enter the Social Work Diploma program or other human service programs. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Applicants must have completed grade 10 or be working at the English 150 and Math 130 levels.

Applicants must submit a personal statement of interest which includes their career goals or aspirations and three letters of reference with their application and a copy of their high school transcripts, college transcripts or the results of the placement package assessment.
