School of Social and Community Services Alumni
Graduates of the School of Social and Community Services have found fulfilling roles across all sectors of society as coaches, counsellors, educators,
support workers, and advocates. Many of our alumni say that their positive contributions today are a direct result of their learning at George
Brown.
Four decades of community relations
The School of Social and Community Services has been around for over 40 years. That’s a long time to build strong relationships and solidify
a reputation as the place to go for social services education or a Career and Work Counselor diploma.
George Brown has over 1,000 relationships with community agencies, which is one of the top reasons why graduates are so well prepared for their

that happens through these placements. Students network for employment at the same time.In fact, many alumni work for the employers who gave them
their initial start as students.
