Human Services Pathway

Overview

The Human Services Program prepares students for careers in the “helping professions.” We train students to work in Social Services Agencies; helping others overcome social barriers, such as poverty, abuse, addiction, oppression and mental health challenges. Coursework also provides a strong foundation for those looking to continue at SCC or transfer to a 4-year college after high school.

Pathway Connections: Possible Next Steps

You will begin preparing to be an innovative leader in the community who provides direct supportive services promoting diversity, self-awareness and social justice. Students will easily slide into the Human Services program at SCC to continue work towards an Associate Degree. Students will then have the opportunity to move directly into the career path (possible careers: counselor, family advocate, case manager to name just a few). Another option would be to transfer to a 4 year college/university to work towards a Bachelors degree.
