Toronto Employment & Social Services' student placements are directly coordinated through partnered colleges/universities with the City of Toronto. Contact your program faculty advisor who will contact the Toronto Employment & Social Services division staff from the Human Services & Organizational Development Unit. The Human Services & Organizational Development Unit liaises with the colleges/universities that deliver Social Service Worker programs, Bachelor of Social Work programs, and other related social service diplomas or degrees.
The City of Toronto liaises with Colleges/Universities where students are enrolled in programs related to Social Services such as the Social Service Worker Program, Bachelor of Social Work programs or other applicable programs. Only those in an approved program can participate in a field placement. The division does not accept volunteers in general.
NOTE: Due to confidentiality issues, there are no job shadowing opportunities in any Employment & Social Service offices throughout the City.
