Graduates of the BA Minor in Counselling are typically employed upon graduation in helping professions such as community/social services, health services, policing, probation, correctional services, education, and in positions with federal and municipal governments, administration, and customer service. Many of the graduates of the Minor in Counselling pursue further education to become K-12 Teachers, Clinical Counsellors, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists, or combine their Minor in Counselling degree with a Business or Science degree where they expect to work with people.
Students have opportunities to reflect deeply on issues related to working with people in any of the helping professions and are supported to develop basic counselling skills through practice, transcription, and videotaping which strengthens students’ interpersonal skills necessary to pursue advanced counselling skills training at the graduate level.
