Human Services
At Selkirk College, our skilled instructors will provide you with the academic, theoretical, philosophical and practical education you need to make a contribution to your community.
The overall goal of the Human Services instructional area is to provide certificate and diploma level programs that are current, relevant and responsive to individual student needs, and that provide skills and competencies that enable students to find employment in a chosen field or to be successful in further study.
Program offerings are based on a humanistic framework in which people are encouraged and supported in working towards personal fulfillment. Quality instruction is achieved through integration of experiential value-based instruction, case study analysis, theoretical analysis, cooperative learning strategies, and practical application of skills in practice settings.
Refer to the Human Services programs policies.
The ECCE Diploma Program has embedded in it the Advanced Certificate for Infant and Toddlers that was offered this year, 2011-2012. The following year we will be alternating the Advanced Certificate with the Supported Child Development Advanced Certificate. This will also be embedded in the Diploma Program in 2012-2013. Each year these specialty courses will alternate, you can take the specialized courses on their own and receive the Advanced Certificate, or you can include one set of these as part of your Diploma Program.
