HUMAN SERVICES

Human services is a career-oriented program that prepares students to become professional helpers. It is designed for those who want to bring about change and make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities. Human services graduates are employed in behavioral health and social services agencies as case managers, outreach specialists, case workers, intake, crisis, and program coordinators, job coaches, and client advocates.

Internships in the human services program provide community work experience for academic credit.

Students may be offered paid internships or jobs after completing their initial internships. Program concentrations give students maximum flexibility and an opportunity to specialize in a particular area of human services. Human services graduates often choose to continue their education pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social work, human services, counseling, family studies, community services, psychology, and/or sociology. Students must work closely with their transfer institutions and their SFCC advisers to ensure the best transition to four-year schools.
