Student Placement
Opportunities

   The Centre works in partnership with local educational institutions (e.g.: Algonquin College, Carleton University, and local High Schools) to provide co-op students and student placements.  Each co-op or placement is three to eight months in duration. Student co-ops and placements can be a wonderful learning opportunity for students considering a career in some of the following fields: social work, law enforcement, professional councelling, and health care.   

    St. Joe's Women's Centre provides a comprehensive training program for all student volunteers which will teach you how to deal with issues such as mental illness, crisis intervention, directing workshops, and maintaining personal boundaries.  Staff at the centre also assist in completion of the evalualtions of each student's performance as mandated by the educational institution.
