Advanced Diploma
Program Code: CY321
Campus: Lakeshore
Length: 4 semesters starting in September
This program prepares you to promote the optimal development of children, youth and their families. Students with previous postsecondary education have the option to complete this accelerated program in 16 consecutive months without compromising experience through three work placements, and upon graduation have opportunities to pursue rewarding careers in a variety of settings including:
You will graduate with foundational knowledge in infant, child and adolescent development; child and youth care relational practice principles; psychology of the family; evidence-based or evidence-informed intervention strategies; group dynamics; and therapeutic activities. Emphasis is on self-reflection to ensure self-awareness for professional practice.
Field placements are a critical component of this program. There is an exciting variety of innovative and traditional field placements available in and around the Greater Toronto Area. Field placements can also be arranged in your own community and all are unpaid. Humber has established partnerships with agencies, schools, etc., that provide field placements. For the first placement, opportunities tend to be school-based and assigned. The second and third field placements are chosen by students from a list of opportunities then matched by the school. First and third field placements are three days a week and the second field placement is four days a week through the summer. This provides students with more than 1,000 hours of practical CYC experience.
