Ontario Graduate Certificate
Program Code: IR511
Campus: North
Length: 2 semesters starting in September
This practical, skill-based program offers a unique opportunity to pursue an exciting and challenging career working with children with special needs and their families. Our graduates work in both community-based and government services agencies in roles such as:
Students enter the workforce armed with valuable skills learned in class and in a work placement including how to advocate and facilitate community outreach for individuals/children and their families; plan and deliver professional development activities; and collaborate with community service providers, professionals and families to facilitate inclusion for their clients.
Placements are pre-arranged by Humber at host agencies on behalf of the student. Various field placement opportunities are offered each semester and in some instances full academic year placements are available to students. Both arrangements make up approximately 380 hours over the duration of the program. Experiences may include a combination of direct and indirect roles working with individuals with diverse abilities/special needs/disabilities, within community-based and government services; and agencies such as treatment centres, mental health agencies, child care centres, community living associations, elementary and high schools, colleges, and multi-service agencies.
