As a graduate, you could provide daily care and support to children or the elderly. You could also help people in need to overcome a wide range of personal, professional, and/ or social barriers. This program allows you to choose between four high demand training options: Activity/Mental Health Technician, Child Development, Developmental Disabilities and Youth Offender. What can I expect? All four Human Services options feature interactive, experience-based learning. The coursework has been carefully designed to give you opportunities to learn, develop and practice meaningful activity and care methods. You will also complete a 4-week specialized internship at the end of your second semester. Rewarding Careers Trained technicians in these areas are always in demand! The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cites that “the employment of human service technicians will grow much faster than average, particularly for applicants with appropriate training.” As an Activity Technician, you will work to bring stimulating, positive activity into the daily lives of nursing home, group home, or assisted living residents. You might arrange for visiting entertainment (speakers, musicians, etc.), or organize group games, crafts, or outings. Child Development: As a daycare provider, preschool teacher or preschool paraprofessional, you can help provide infants, toddlers and preschool age children with a stable, nourishing environment. Spend your work-day building confidence, encouraging interests and talents, and allowing children to grow and learn through play and exploration! Developmental Disabilities: This option will prepare you to assist people with developmental disabilities (autism, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, etc.). You could work with individuals in their homes, in a group home or in a developmental training center. Youth Offender: This unique option will prepare you to work with youth who have been removed from their homes/communities because of behavioral or mental health concerns. You could be a youth counselor in a group home, or work in behavioral education as a paraprofessional.

Credits Required For Graduation: 78.5 Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree No Ordinary Job In crisis situations, people’s lives often depend on the quick and highly skilled reaction of emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics and firefighters. Emergency personnel must be emotionally steady, compassionate, and physically strong. You never know what the day will bring in this field! As a med/fire rescue technician, your responsibilities might include: controlling and extinguishing fires, assisting with lifesaving medical treatment on the scene and during transportation to hospitals, assisting in disaster recovery, providing aircraft fire rescue and playing an important role in the control and clean-up of spills and hazardous chemical incidents. What can I expect? Our 20 month program includes EMT certification, Firefighter I & II, and versatile training in physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, hazardous material safety, trauma assessment, medical assessment and treatment, and more! Have you always wanted a career that gives you the chance to make a difference? Let us help you start your journey! Careers According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the regional and national trends show a significant increase over the next ten years in career opportunities in the med/fire rescue profession. Although many small med/fire rescue departments are volunteer positions, larger areas and cities employ hundreds to thousands of technicians. More recently, these departments significantly expanded the duties performed by the med/fire rescue personnel resulting in an increase of hiring qualified employees. A laptop is required for this program.
