Development Service Worker Diploma

Students are required to complete 1250 hours of in-class training. Entry-level Developmental Services Workers work in a variety of settings within a multi-disciplinary team.

They work in accordance with the Human Rights Code and the Developmental Services Worker Standards of Practice.

Developmental Services Worker program graduates can work in a variety of areas including education, accommodation, employment support, advocacy, health care, and recreation.

Students learn the basics of the sector and developmental disabilities throughout their lifespan. They will then progress through specific developmental disabilities with a focus on autism and communication disorders.

They are introduced to community supports, person-centered supports, and programming and ultimately be introduced to the virtual project.

The final project will synthesize and solidify learning while simulating practice within the field to prepare you for a career in Developmental Services.

Students also benefit from one-to-one coaching, mentorships and alumni access post-graduation.

Students can engage and get involved with our mentorship programs and planning workshops for coaching.
