Degree Overview

人类服务证书允许您建立对人类服务机构结构的理解,并协助满足客户的需求. Career opportunities within clinical environments, 非营利组织或社区机构可为那些谁完成这个证书选项. 灵活的在线格式允许您利用您在现场的经验来完成现场工作的要求.

21学分的人力服务证书非常适合那些有热情帮助他人的人. 这是一个多元化的群体,可能包括儿童和家庭, the elderly, homeless, immigrants, people with addictions, people with disabilities and many more.

课程将涵盖人类服务系统的概述, an exploration of family dynamics, trauma informed care, community engagement, social change, and crisis intervention, among others. In your final semester of the program, 学生将完成实地工作经验或EA(道德), empathy and advocacy) core course. Those who already have work experience in the field will have the option to take an EA core course; students who do not yet have work experience in the field will be required to take the fieldwork course. 这种灵活性使有经验的学生不必抽出时间来完成实地工作要求, 而是在他们的职业兴趣和生活经历的特定领域提供指导. 它还为刚进入该领域的学生提供了宝贵的实践学习机会. 这种实践经验为你提供了观察和参与的机会,这在传统的课堂工作中是无法获得的. 

课程全年提供,分为兼职和全日制. 进入该项目的学生很少或没有大学经验,可以在PG电子APP完成他们的先决课程.

成功完成人类服务证书课程后, 你将了解人类服务机构的作用和目的, the forces that influence them, and the variety of clients they may serve.
