Human services includes a broad range of programs that prepare you for work in a variety of fields. The early childhood education and behavioral science degree programs provide the knowledge you’ll need to enter careers in childcare, social work, addiction treatment, criminal justice, and psychology. Credentials and certificate programs can lead to employment as a rehabilitation educator, addiction professional, or funeral director. Whatever path you choose, you’ll be well positioned for the workforce or further education.
CCV programs are stackable, meaning they build on one another as you progress toward your goals. Individual classes can be applied to credentials, credentials to certificates, and certificates to degrees. Check out our certificate to degree maps and explore the stackable program options available to you.

Alumni Success Story
CCV Works: Jean Cota
Jean graduated from CCV in 2018 with her associate degree in early childhood education and became the director of childcare for Jay Peak Resort in 2019. “I climbed the career ladder because of the degree,” she said. “It completely changed how I looked at childcare. It used to be ‘I’m providing a home for children.’ Now it’s about education.”
