Social Service Worker at Sheridan College

In this Social Service Worker program, students will learn from professors and guest speakers who have considerable experience in family therapy, policy development, social work, social justice and other social service fields. Students will gain a solid skills foundation through a laboratory practicum, and will develop plans for starting and running a service organization. The Social Service Worker program maintains connections with hundreds of organizations – including community-based organizations, group homes, children's aid organizations and youth centres – that welcome Sheridan's students for their Year 2 practicum placements. Students will complete more than 600 hours of field placement in a social service setting, reinforcing the practical skills they have learnt in class.
