Testimonials

"The Developmental Services Worker Program at Confederation College provided me with skills to support people in achieving their goals in life regardless of their challenges. The hands on experience from placement was a great opportunity to practice what I learned. The professors encouraged me to follow my passion for person-centred planning and I'm now part of the team at Community Living Thunder Bay making a difference in people's lives. I truly believe everyone has unique skills and abilities and I enjoy supporting them to share those gifts with others."

"I am currently working at Brain Injury Services of Northern Ontario (BISNO) in a full-time position as a Community Support Facilitator. I was offered this position after completing a placement with the agency during my 2nd year of the DSW Program at Confederation College. The different placements I completed throughout the program helped me pick which area I wanted to work in. The DSW Program has helped me learn to work with a variety of people, each with different needs of their own."

The Developmental Services Worker program has helped me to work and support children with special needs, which is something I always wanted to do. Karen Kemp and Terry Lowey were awesome and very supportive."
