The two-year Child and Youth Care diploma program offers two unique field placements in the community. Under the guidance of field and instructor advisors, students are provided with the opportunity to integrate theory into practice in a supported learning environment. Students have the unique opportunity to work alongside youth and their families in the therapeutic life space. Practicum experiences occur in a variety of settings: managed group care facilities and treatment programs, school programs, mental health programs, youth justice programs, family support and services, addiction services, and a variety of community support programs.
NOTE: Covid-19 vaccinations are currently required by most practicum sites. Students should be prepared to present their proof of (double) vaccination.
