HELP PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY
Humber’s School of Social and Community Services gives you a chance to make a difference with work placements in the fields of criminal justice, and human and fire services.
Humber offers the faculty, simulation labs and work experience that students need to take advantage of opportunities in fields that range from law enforcement to rehabilitation to private security.
For example, students pursuing careers in policing or security are placed in Humber’s driving and 180-degree conflict resolution simulator, where scenarios challenge students in a controlled environment.
Instructors program obstacles as students drive, and on-screen characters — uncooperative or in the grip of a mental-health crisis — test their negotiation and alternate resolution skills.
“The private security sector is rapidly growing,” explains Daniel Schwartz, a program coordinator at Humber. “Graduates of our protection, security and investigation diploma program can expect to find employment in security companies where entry-level positions can move into areas such as investigations and risk management.
“Students who are focused on policing find pathways through Humber’s Police Foundations diploma program. Some students choose to complete both diplomas, setting themselves up for careers in a broader range of law enforcement sectors.”
At the School of Social and Community Services, students similarly have a chance to learn in state-of-the-art facilities and labs, or in the field through a range of practicum experiences.
“We are dedicated to delivering more than an education — we are changing lives,” says Derek Stockley, the program dean.
