Community and justice services professionals often work with clients who find themselves at a crossroads. They work within the justice system focusing on keeping people out of it through prevention, intervention and rehabilitation.

 

Train for a rewarding career and help make a real difference in the lives of people at risk.

• Work with clients ranging from children to young offenders to adults, and people with addictions, developmental delays and mental health challenges.
• There are opportunities in a vast range of settings: youth custody facilities, child welfare homes, federal and provincial correctional facilities, attendance centres, community justice agencies, addiction and mental health services, victim support agencies and a variety of residential facilities for people at risk.
• Grads who successfully complete the provincial or federal correctional system recruitment process will receive additional training upon employment.
• There is such a strong demand for community and justice services professionals that many students receive job offers before they graduate.
• Help build stronger, safer communities by helping people at risk gain the skills and support they need to make positive life choices.
