Human Services

Put your people skills and caring to work with one of Lakeland College's human services programs.

Children & Youth Focus in Vermilion

Our Vermilion campus programs focus on working with children and youth. This includes child and youth care, early learning and child care certificate and diploma and educational assistant,

You'll be in class for 10 weeks and then have a 5 week practicum each semester. We've also started offering early learning and educational assistant courses online--so, you can earn while you learn.

Most practicums will be off-site at schools, agencies and organizations. Some are local, and some are farther afield.  As part of our international practicum experience, we have been to Australia (2010) and the Dominican Republic (2012).  Where to next?  It's up to you to decide.

Sign Language at U of A

Our two sign language programs are located in Edmonton on the University of Alberta campus. The certificate program, Sign Language & Deaf Studies, leads into the Sign Language Interpretation Diploma.
