Overview
Students will gain foundational knowledge in the history and ethics of social work, and practice critical thinking to understand the causes and impacts of social issues. Students can blend theory and application as they learn to work with individuals, families and communities to assess, intervene and provide support.
The Social Work Diploma is designed to meet the standards for excellence in social work practice and graduates are eligible for registration with the Alberta College of Social Workers (ACSW).
Practicum is a valuable experiential opportunity to put one's academic learning into practice. Required for the Social Work Diploma, students spend 700 hours throughout the program in related field experience, while under supervision that will help connect theory to real-world application and prepare students for employment upon graduation.
