Algonquin College has introduced a Bachelor of Child and Youth Care (Honours) program that will prepare students for a career in child and youth care. The four-year degree program’s curriculum covers topics such as applied research, entrepreneurship, nature-based programming, program evaluation, and social innovation. Students will gain hands-on experience through a work term and two field placements. Graduates will be prepared for work in front-line and supervisory roles in a variety of settings such as community health centres, hospitals, and schools. “Our approach allows students to learn and grow in a supportive, hands-on, dynamic learning environment that will prepare them to enter the human services workforce,” said Algonquin School of Wellness, Public Safety and Community Studies Dean Jane Trakalo. The program launches in 2025.
