Diploma
Program Code: 11171
Campus: Lakeshore
Length: 4 semesters
Humber’s Community and Justice Services diploma program focuses on both the community and the institutional sectors of the justice system. Our curriculum combines theory and applied skills, giving you the breadth of knowledge and experience needed to meet the demands of an entry-level position in this field. You’ll be prepared for occupations where you will work with people in conflict with the law and other marginalized client groups and will explore the development of community programs, restorative justice initiatives and preventative measures. In addition, we practise inclusivity from a broad anti-oppressive perspective and place a strong emphasis on the practice of interpersonal, problem-solving and assessment skills.
Our faculty are skilled, committed and have direct work experience within community and institutional correctional services. As a result, our program boasts strong community links. Additionally, opportunities exist for further specialized community justice training.
Our advisory committee regularly reviews our curriculum, ensuring our program is always on the cutting edge of developments in the field.
You will have an opportunity to practise your skills and apply theoretical knowledge during a comprehensive 400 hour unpaid innovative Field Experience. Students will work in the field or on an applied project two days per week over Semesters 3 and 4. Alongside this experience, you will also complete course work and attend Seminar class. Field Experiences are arranged through the college with the help of a dedicated field advisor.
