If so, then Human Services is the field for you! Our program, which is accredited by the Council for Standards in Human Services Education (CSHSE), prepares you for an entry-level position in a variety of human service agencies. Our emphasis of study is on development of knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to human services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">CCTC Human Services programs offers an Associate of Applied Science in Human Services degree, a Human Services Certificate and a Gerontology Certificate. Students can focus their studies to an area of special interest through field placements, which are opportunities for field work experience at various approved agencies in the local area. As a graduate, you could work in positions in mental health, family services, social services, rehabilitation, corrections and non-profit agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">With a degree in Human Services, you can become an advocate, youth worker, mental health aide or case manager. You may choose to go on to a four-year school for further education in social work, human services or psychology. Some students find themselves drawn to this field immediately while others find the career first and come back to educate themselves. Either way, the call to help others can lead to a very fulfilling career.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans Bold';\">Making positive changes in people\u2019s lives<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The Human Services Program at CCTC also teaches students how to apply professional helping methods in a broad range of settings including social services agencies, healthcare agencies, mental health facilities and more. With this degree, students will develop leadership and interactional skills to better support the people in their local community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">While in the program, students learn about human behavior and systems. They learn how psychology and social forces influence each other and impact people. They also learn ways to help people meet their physical, mental, and emotional needs. Through the Human Services curriculum, students develop skills in critical thinking, communication and problem-solving.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans Bold';\">Great career prospects<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The U.
