About Community & Justice Services in St. Clair College
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Community and Justice Services program is designed to prepare students for careers in the field of criminal justice with attention to intervention and re-integration. The nature of these environments and the diversity of clients demand a highly trained work force able to intervene effectively using best practices, in order to ensure the protection of the public, and the safety of the community, staff, and clients.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
- Taught by experts currently in the field, the curriculum prepares students for a wide variety of careers related to institutional and community based corrections and for other areas of law enforcement.
- In addition to specialized courses involving both theory and practical hands-on learning, the CJS program provides students with the opportunity to obtain invaluable real-life experience through a 320 hour work placement in corrections or in one of many other agencies and/or community programs relating to law enforcement and criminal justice.
- The program also prepares students to meet with success for the FITCO fitness testing required by the Ministry of Corrections.

Careers may be based in youth facilities; federal and provincial correctional institutions; justice agencies; policing and community agencies, programs and services.
FIELD PLACEMENTS
Employers who provide our field placement settings require a clear POLICE RECORD CHECK for criminal offences with vulnerable sector screening before accepting a student into the field placement setting. The record check MUST be obtained by the student at the student's expense. If you are unable to obtain this police clearance by mid-September, you jeopardize the opportunity to complete either of your field placements.
