Ontario College Diploma in Social Service Worker – Immigrants and Refugees (Accelerated)

Seneca Polytechnic

This accelerated one-year Social Service Worker – Immigrants and Refugees program prepares you to succeed as a social service provider to support immigrants and refugees from diverse backgrounds. Throughout the fast-paced program, your success will be measured by your ability to grow, change and challenge your own beliefs. Based on a framework of equity, social justice and anti-oppression principles, this program will provide insight and understanding of migration trajectories and how to effectively aid clients with their settlement and integration processes.

To qualify for this accelerated program, you must have completed an undergraduate degree. Students with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences or a similar undergraduate degree will be given priority. This program consists of a seven-week, intensive summer semester starting in early May, followed by a regular academic year starting the day after Labour Day and concluding in mid-April.
