The SCSW gives participants the knowledge and abilities around the intricacies of working with people with developmental disabilities. Within Powell River, Vancouver Island University is the only educational institution that delivers this program but there are a number of other institutions throughout the province that run equivalent programs.

Our Health focused residences accept the Resident Care Aide certificate as equivalent to SCSW. For more information about this program visit Vancouver Island University’s HS/RCA website.
Our children’s services seek applicants with an Early Childhood Educators’ license as well as experience supporting children with special needs.
