Success Stories and Testimonials
“Classroom learning is completely relevant to the field of child and youth care. Experienced professors encourage intelligent discussions which are fostered by small class sizes. After accepting a pre-graduation job offer, I have been working full-time for the York Region District School Board.”

“We are proud to support Seneca and the crucial work they do to support mental health. With the RBC Mental Health Symposium at Seneca, we hope to enable conversations to help break down barriers between needing help and getting help.”
Alex Pley, Graduate, Social Service Worker & Honours Bachelor of Community Mental Health
"I decided to pursue the Social Service Worker program at Seneca because I wasn’t exactly sure which avenue of education to go down. After some research, I found that social work was the ideal discipline to dive into more niche areas of study. The Honours Bachelor of Community Mental Health degree program was much more intensive, but my diploma program provided me with the educational foundation that I required.”

“Seneca’s SSW-G program not only taught me the theoretical content that I needed to become a working professional in my field, it challenged me to grow personally. The practicum portion of the program helped me to develop the practical tools needed and gave me hands on work experience. The faculty are supportive and work with students to encourage success and continue to be a valuable resource and support after graduation.”
