The Social Services Worker Diploma (SSWD) program provides opportunities for students to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and qualifications to enable them to work in a human services worker field. The program involves two years of full-time study, with a combination of practice, theory, and academic course requirements aimed to prepare students to become critical practitioners with an emphasis on advocacy, social justice, and social change. The program may also be taken on a part-time basis.
The SSWD program prepares students to work as paraprofessionals in a variety of social service and health agencies. Typical jobs include, but not limited to: financial assistance worker, bail supervisor, residential service worker, social work assistant, mental health assisted living worker, family support worker, supported employment, community living worker, transition houses, women's programs, Aboriginal support worker and family violence worker.
Location: Dawson Creek and Fort St. John campuses. The SSWD program can be available at remote campuses through a combination of online and videoconference course delivery methods. Arrangements can be made practicum placements at remote locations.
Length: 60 weeks (four terms) of full-time study comprising 1055 hours. Part-time study is an option. However, all key** SSWD courses must be completed within six years of program admission.
**Key SSWD courses include SSWD 110, SSWD 120, SSWD 210, SSWD 215/PSYC 220/ECTA 121, SSWD 220, SOWK 200, and SO

Note: January intake is for domestic students only.
English is the language of instruction in all programs at NLC, thus it is imperative that NLC students meet minimum English Language Proficiency requirements.
In University Arts and Sciences and Related Programs, it is understood that the minimum English Language Proficiency requirement is that required to graduate from a Canadian high school program conducted in English. This is defined in the current English Language Requirement document. (English Language Requirement document Effective May 2020)
*Note that some SSWD program elective courses have specific pre-requisites. Meeting the entrance requirements for the SSWD program does not ensure course pre-requisites have been met for all available courses.
Post-Admission Requirements:
A. Students will be required to attend a program-specific orientation session, usually held the first class of SSWD 110. Accommodations can be made for students enrolling before the add/drop date or part-time students.
B. ALL students must complete a Ministry of Justice Schedule B Criminal Record Check (CRC) for working with children and vulnerable adults before beginning the program. Failure to do so will prevent students from registering in SSWD 220: Practicum and Seminar and may result in program withdrawal. Please see the NLC Criminal Records Check page for completion instructions and more information pertaining to Criminal Record Checks.
