Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are prepared to work in any level of continuingcare, including: home support, adult day care, assisted living, and complex care (including dementia care units). Practicum, Extern and Clinical Experiences Practicum, extern and clinical experiences are an integral part of health and social services programs. Locations are throughout the Okanagan Valley. Students must arrange for their own transportation to and from practicum, extern and clinical sites. In most cases, that means a driving license and access to a reliable vehicle is required. Travel expenses are the student's responsibility. Hours vary from six to nine hours per day during the practicum for a total of 30 hours per week.

It has been developed with extensive community consultation and learning objectives are guided by provincially identified practice competencies. The Human Service Work Diploma is a full time and demanding endeavour. Students are in class approximately 18 hours/week and are expected to read and complete assignments outside of class on a daily basis. Students take responsibility for their own learning as well as being active participants in the classroom. Students graduating from this program will be working with people who are vulnerable and disadvantaged in some way. This generally requires graduates from this program to be client centered, able to explore and challenge themselves (thoughts, feelings, behaviours) and to be open to change. Students entering into this program must be emotionally, physically, cognitively, and psychologically healthy.
