Caring for children and youth in our society is a unique calling. It takes a special kind of person to work with young people facing trauma, those most at risk, and those who are struggling to survive, let alone thrive. Our Child and Youth Care Diploma Program prepares you for a career in this expanding field, in a wide range of work settings, including community based programs, schools, family support, group homes, residential treatment facilities and hospitals.
You will learn the principles, philosophies and characteristics required to provide quality youth care. To better prepare you for the rewards and challenges of your chosen field, this program also includes hands-on opportunities in two practicum placements (one lasting 8-weeks during your first year and the other lasting 12-weeks during your second year.) Such training gives real-life experience that allows you to practice the skills learned in class in real life situations.
