Learner goals and capabilities

The Community Services Worker program equips learners with essential skills in communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, preparing them to address social issues effectively. Participants gain practical knowledge in areas such as social welfare, mental health, and community resources, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to community service projects. By applying their classroom learning, students can engage in projects that require assessing community needs, developing intervention strategies, and supporting vulnerable populations.


Whether you operate a shelter, group home, youth program, or support agency, our interns are trained to jump in and contribute to your mission. They are familiar with working in diverse settings and are eager to help facilitate programs, document services, or engage with clients—all under professional supervision.
