Job Title [Casandra Miller-Black]

Surveillant for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)

General overview

This job is part of the CSIS’s intelligence collection sector. The job entails working from within one of the regional offices, conducting surveillance work to provide intel about national security, and to keep an eye on potential threats to said security. Surveillants work as a part of CSIS’s dedicated and diverse team of security operatives and staff, belonging to a wider network of agents and technicians who help ensure civilian safety on a national scale. The position includes both physical surveillance and substantial research on probable threats, in a team setting where surveillants perform a wide range of tasks depending on the nature of the assignment ^[1] .

Job duties and responsibilities

Surveillants are expected to conduct reconnaissance operations and physical surveillance missions within the province they are located in. This may involve following a specific target around a city without being detected, or it could involve remaining in a stationary position for the entirety of a shift and reporting on the ongoings at that location. Surveillants are also responsible for researching and assessing possible threats and information related to said threats. They must pool resources and create detailed reports and profiles on potential threats to national security. Furthermore, a surveillant must provide working reports on the intel that has been collected through the previously mentioned surveillance activities, thereby creating further resources on the targets being observed. Finally, surveillants multitask during surveillance operations and complete multiple smaller assignments while simultaneously working on a larger task ^[1].

Typical workday

A surveillant’s workday will likely not be routine, the nature of the task being dependent upon how a target individual or group acts in a situation. Surveillants are often tasked with going to a location to observe and obtain information about a given target or group. When a surveillant is tasked with this type of work they typically have to follow the target wherever they go. The surveillant must remain discrete and invisible, never alerting the target to their presence ^[2]. In this case the surveillant may be required to follow around the group or individual for the duration of their shift with no guarantee that any intel will come within that time frame. Still, on other days the surveillant will be able to collect the right information needed to halt a threat to national security and possibly save lives ^[3]. Typically this work day will be carried out by a team, not an individual surveillant, as it takes a team of agents to make sure intel is collected with discretion and without any of the surveillants having their covers blown ^[2].

This job entails not only physical surveillance but also large amounts of research and analysis. Surveillants can be expected to spend some of their workdays within their regional office, drafting intel reports and organizing the information that has been collected on reconnaissance missions. A workday like this may include group debriefing sessions or tactical planning with a team of other surveillants and CSIS team leaders. Depending on the situation at hand, surveillants may spend part of their shift working in the field, collecting information, and then spend the remainder of said shift working within an office setting^[2].

Surveillants work on shift work and may work from any of the six regional offices across the country, furthermore there are multiple regional divisions that report to the regional offices so the work locales for surveillants range depending on the province and city they are based out of. The offices are all in urban centres but a surveillant’s work could take them into a rural setting depending on the task. Overall, a typical workday will have a lot of variance not only depending on the task but on the province or territory the work is situated in. Surveillance tasks could be at any hour of the day in any city within the surveillant’s region ^[1][2].

Educational requirements and other qualifications

The bare minimum applicants are required to have completed a two year college diploma ^[1][3]. While these degrees can be obtained all over the country, the following schools have particularly relevant programs to the surveillant job based on its duties and responsibilities: Brock University (Collaborative Study in Policing and Criminal Justice, Psychology, Sociology with a Criminology Concentration), Georgian College (Police Foundations), and Niagara College (Police Foundations) ^{[4][5][6][7][8]}. The policing programs and criminology program are especially relevant since former police officers and criminology graduates make up the bulk of CSIS surveillant agents ^[3]. Since these programs focus on crime and society they will provide a solid background for the work a surveillant does.

Aside from education, top security clearance is also required for this position. The applicant must be a Canadian citizen and needs to be able to verify their whereabouts for at least the previous decade by providing access to personal records, bills, etc. Top security clearance is granted through an investigation by the organization: this process is extensive and requires a security interview, a lie-detector test utilizing a polygraph, and a thorough background check^[9][10].

The applicant must also have a valid, and permanent Canadian driver’s license with at least two years of driving experience and if the applicant is seeking out a position in Quebec, fluency in French is absolutely essential for the position, while other provinces permit English-only speakers to serve as surveillants. On top of this, contacted applicants will be required to pass an training program assessing their suitability for the position ^[1][9][10].

Related skills, interests, and abilities

CSIS stresses that candidates for the surveillant position should be in good or excellent physical health because of the physical component of this job. Depending on the physical location of the surveillance operations, surveillants may be asked to walk or run long distances, climb, or partake in other physical activities that require a degree of strength and endurance ^{[1][2][3][10]}.

Furthermore, CSIS Careers^[2] stresses in their recruitment that patience, flexibility and common-sense are important attributes for surveillants as surveillants are often tasked with operations that involve large amounts of waiting and their tasks are likely to change on a whim. Since CSIS agents often have to work under changing circumstances, quick thinking and common-sense come into play when making split second decisions that could either ensure the success of their team or cause them to lose time. Individuals will also be expected to show collaboration and teamwork skills due to the group-oriented nature of the job^[2]. Similarly, attention to detail and the ability to operate with discretion are vital skills to ensure a surveillant’s success. Since surveillants are at top security clearance they are often given classified and potentially dangerous information and therefore have to be vigilant about who they divulge this information to in order to maintain security ^[2].

A transferable skill that is of particular importance to this position is the ability to research and draft reports. Surveillants must go beyond physically surveilling an area or watching a group of people, they must be able to collect information from these tasks and then format them into formal reports. The ability to write concisely and clearly is absolutely vital to the reporting proportion of this job. That is, developed written communication skills are absolutely imperative to a surveillant’s work ^[1]. These qualities combined will make a surveillant more effective and therefore valuable to his or her team ^[2].

Relevance of Psychology undergraduate degree

While a psychology undergraduate degree is not required, the content from classes at Brock University such as “Introduction to Forensic Psychology” (PSYC 3P53) and “Violent Predators” (PSYC 4P72) are highly relevant to the security work surveillants do, as they introduce the individual to concepts involving law enforcement, national security, and potential threats to said security. Both of these courses would have a surveillant better understand what is going on in the minds of the criminals or targets they are surveilling because of the various theories on criminality presented throughout the courses. For example, in the introductory course students learn about criminal profiling techniques (e.g., geographical profiling) that could be applicable to a surveillant’s work ^[11]. Similarly, “The Development of Deception” (PSYC 3P32) would provide insight into the different processes of lying and deception that a target may utilize against a CSIS agent when interacted with. This material could help surveillants catch targets in a lie and to recognize deceptive behaviours while observing either up close or from a distance^[12].

A fourth course from Brock University, simply titled “Stress” (PSYC 3P75) would be beneficial for developing content knowledge that is relevant for a surveillant’s career because the information could help a surveillant identify when a target of interest has become distressed based on the physiological markers that are associated with stress (e.g., increased heart rate, heavy breathing, sweaty, etc.) and this would help surveillants react to their target ^[13]. Furthermore, since surveillants are expected to deal with high levels of stress themselves, the psychological theories on how to decrease one’s own stress ^[1]. For example, research has shown that optimism and sufficient social circles can help an individual decrease their stress ^[14]. This kind of knowledge could help a surveillant create ways to cope with the high stress environment of their job.

These kinds of courses are not unique to Brock University and can be found at different universities and colleges across the country. Courses at any institution that focus on forensic psychology or criminology would serve the same function at the forensic psychology and violent predators courses previously mentioned. For example, Seneca College offers a course titled “Forensic Psychology” that examines the same types of theories as the equivalent Brock course ^[15]. Other institutions offering classes on deception and stress could also be utilized to prepare an individual for the surveillant position by examining similar topics as the ones explored in the Brock courses. Overall, a psychology undergraduate degree is relevant to this career because psychology involves studying human behaviour and the main objective a surveillant completes is to observe human behaviour.

Salary Potential

$58,000 to $70,000 a year. A surveillant’s salary is calculated under reviews of their performance in the position by a superior officer. Salary will vary based on years of experience and success in the position. Salary may differ by regional office but is mostly determined by the performance reviews previously mentioned ^[1][3].

Job outlook

Currently, CSIS is recruiting surveillants for the regional office in Quebec. While this is the only posted demand for this job, the organization welcomes résumés for all positions and offices through a general application ^[1]. There are also many surveillant jobs for other organizations, with over 7,500 results appearing on the Government of Canada’s website (Government of Canada, 2015). With the new funding for CSIS that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has proposed to support Anti-terrorism across the country it is likely that demands for surveillants shall continue to increase. As more resources come to the agency the ability to hire more individuals for surveillant roles will open up in provinces other than Quebec ^[16].

Job Title (Alexandra Hopkins)

Social service worker

General Overview

Social service workers can work in a variety of fields such as mental health, community outreach or child services, with several consistencies in job description. They are responsible for assessing and connecting individuals to community resources^[17]. They work with individuals, groups, families and organizations to achieve optimal and desired social functioning through assessment, evaluation and treatment^[18]. In accordance with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, one must have a diploma in social service work and be a member of the College to hold the title of Social Service Worker in Ontario ^[19]. Social service workers are not a regulated body in other provinces, thus registration with a College is not available.

Job duties and responsibilities

The role of a social service worker is to obtain a case history and prepare options for assistance and support, including community resources which may be beneficial. They assess need, eligibility, and provide referrals to community resources, including housing, financial assistance, and employment. Further, they are able to implement treatment programs including substance abuse and behavioural treatment^[17]. They may be responsible for providing treatment in the form of individual, group or familial therapy. They assist clients in connecting with social service programs and community programs. Social service workers are often responsible for collecting case histories, identify client’s deficits and assessing the effectiveness of treatments interventions^[20]. Further, social service workers may conduct custody assessments, working with children and their parents to determine parental access ^[18].

Typical workday

Social service workers may be employed in a variety of settings and work varying hours (e.g., shift, weekends, nights). They may be employed by government agencies, child protection services, mental health facilities, shelters or substance abuse centres^[17][20]. They may work with target, vulnerable populations such as physically disabled individuals, youth, homeless, or intellectually disabled persons ^[20]. Work hours can vary in accordance with the services offered at that particular organization. For example, shelters, hospitals, child protection services may require shift work, weekends or nights while government facilities may hold business hours ^[20]. As the availability of these resources may vary by region (e.g., rural versus urban), variability of hours in a particular region may be in accordance with services offered to the public. The workday of a social service worker is dependent upon the type of community resource. It may involve meeting with clients (e.g., mentally ill, developmentally delayed, homeless, etc.), obtaining case history and providing assessments for therapeutic intervention or social service resources. They may provide crisis intervention in a clinical setting, supervise group activities (e.g., if working in a group home setting) and liaise with other social and community resources ^[20]. The workday of a social service worker may involve appointments with clients with set time limits. Alternatively, some facilities offer walk-in support (e.g., crisis counseling services) or as-needed (e.g., shelters, group homes, and other emergent support services)^[20].

Educational requirements and other qualifications

To obtain a career as a social service worker, one must complete a diploma from an accredited college in Canada or the United States ^[18] and it may be completed in combination with a diploma in child and youth care or community support work^[20][17]. All social service workers in Ontario are legally obligated to be registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, which must be renewed annually. The cost for new graduates is $275 (includes application cost of $100), and $175 for the next two years. Thereafter, the cost is $275^[18]. Other provinces do not have regulatory bodies for social service workers. Often, certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first aid, non-violent crisis intervention, and/or applied suicide intervention skills training are required by employers^[20]. Training in these certifications may be obtained through human services resources, such as Distress Centre of Niagara or through volunteering with organizations such as Pathstone. Many schools in Canada offer diplomas in the social service field, some are listed below:

• Niagara College offers a two year diploma in social service work
• Mohawk College offers a two year diploma in social service work with an option to fast track and complete the program in 16 months
• Seneca College offers a two year diploma in social service work as well as an accelerated program of 3 semesters
• Fanshawe College also offers both a two year and a 10 month fast track program
• Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta also offers a two year diploma in social service work

Related skills, interests, and abilities

One of the most fundamental skills required for a social service worker is communication, including verbal, written and behavioural^[20]. When assisting clients, it is important to conduct oneself in a professional manner in how they speak to others, and listen to client concerns in an empathetic and supportive way. It is also important to be aware of non-verbal communication to ensure the client feels supported and their concerns heard. Non-verbal communication can be especially important when working with special populations such as the mentally ill or children. Written communication is especially important when completing intake reports and in assessments where another social service worker, the police or mental health workers may conduct follow-up assessments. A social service worker is often responsible for conducting crisis and/or suicide intervention as well as conflict resolution^[20], thus, it is essential to have skills in these areas. One must practice patience and understanding while keeping an open mind. For example, if working in a homeless shelter, conflicts between residents may occur and it may be within the social service worker’s responsibilities to resolve the problem. To do so, the worker must openly hear both parties and help them find a compromise to the conflict. If working in mental health, it may often be within the social service worker’s responsibility to provide crisis support or suicide intervention. These skills may be developed through certification training programs (see above). Finally, the ability to supervise is often a desirable skill for a social service worker to hold^[20]. This is especially important if working with volunteers (e.g., in a non-profit organization) to ensure they are able to meet the expectations of the job. This skill also involves communication abilities including being able to offer constructive criticism and act in an assertive and professional manner.

Relevance of Psychology undergraduate degree

Social service work is a competitive career; many job postings highlight that a diploma in social service work is only one of the suggested diplomas/degrees to have. For example, some jobs recommend other diplomas such as child and youth worker and/or human services worker. Others suggest some university, or require a degree in psychology or a related discipline^[20]. Holding an undergraduate degree in psychology can improve one’s resume, or allow a candidate to ask for a higher hiring salary (e.g., if employer offers a range of hiring salary). The education that one obtains while completing their psychology degree is highly relevant to social service work. It allows for a more thorough understanding of issues related to mental health, child development and understanding current research in the field. Firstly, courses teaching abnormal psychology and mental illnesses provide essential knowledge for social service workers working with the mentally ill. These clients may require community resources, and having an understanding of their mental illness, may aid in one’s ability to assist them. While a social service worker is not responsible for diagnosing^[21], it is vital they have an understanding of symptoms and possible medications to best protect themselves as well as provide the best care possible to the client. Secondly, having an education in child development is essential when working with youth, especially vulnerable youth (i.e., those in foster care, involved in criminal activity etc.). Understanding how a child ought to develop cognitively, psychologically and socially can help a social service worker know when one is not developing properly. This can allow them to address the issue and provide intervention early. For example, a social service worker employed in a shelter^[20] may find it beneficial to recognize when a child living there with a parent is being negatively affected and intervene early. Finally, as research in the field of social service work is constantly evolving and adapting^[18], it is important one has the knowledge to read and critically analyze publications. As a requirement of an undergraduate degree in psychology is to partake in courses involving statistics and research methodology, this education provides excellent experience for a social service worker. This allows a social service worker to execute best practice methods as they emerge. A degree in psychology prior to completion of a social service worker diploma can improve one’s general knowledge of human behaviour and understanding of research methods, increasing their potential to advance in their class.

Salary Potential

Social service workers earn, on average, $17 an hour, or $33, 000 annually^[22]. According to the Canadian Job Bank website^[20], the highest median wages are earned in Nunavut ($28), Yukon ($28), and Northwest Territories ($24), followed by Ontario ($22), and Quebec ($22)^[23]. This wage can vary slightly in rural versus urban areas. Specifically, Canadian Job Bank identifies jobs in urban areas (e.g., Toronto and Ottawa) as offering the highest median wages in Ontario. The lowest median wages are offered in rural areas (e.g., Stratford, Bruce Peninsula) in Ontario. There is a range of wages that can differ in accordance with experience. For example, in the Toronto and Ottawa area, wages can vary from $14 to $34 an hour^[23].

Job outlook

Jobs in this field are very much dependent on government funding. Job prospects in this field have grown at an average rate, with workers retiring at rate consistent with other related fields^[24]. Areas of social services in mental health, early childhood services, work with the elderly and community outreach are expected to show the greatest growth in Ontario^[23]. According to the Canadian job bank, Quebec shows the greatest job growth in social services. Demand is highest in more urban areas (i.e., those with higher populations), for example, provinces such as New Brunswick and Newfoundland employ less than 2,500 workers in this field, while Ontario has more than 52,000 in the social service worker field^[23].

Job Title (Lydia Abraham)

Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT)

General Overview

Registered Marriage and Family Therapists (RMFT) goals are to help enrich interpersonal, psychological and emotional relationships between families^[25]. This includes relationships between parents, siblings, parents and children, stepparents and children, adoptive parents and children’s relationships and couples. They focus on decreasing catalysts in relationships and increasing the positive attributes of it^[25]. They study individuals’ feelings, their interactions/ communication with one another and factors (e.g., friends) that contribute to their marriage or family problems. The end goal is to create a more agreeable family unit^[25].

Job duties and responsibilities

Some job duties and responsibilities that RMFT have are meeting with individual people or family units to examine and discuss the issues surrounding their marriage and family problems^[25]. They provide counseling and therapy, through structural therapy, strategic therapy, systematic/ milan therapy, narrative therapy, reality therapy, and transgenerational therapy. Other techniques that are used are relationship counseling and systemic coaching^[25]. They also collect information about individuals, marriages, and family units through self-report questionnaires, interviews, and formal assessments^[26]. Sometimes the RMFT may need to talk to individuals outside of convenient work hours if there is an emergency at work or at home. RMFTs also may develop treatment plans for individuals or a family unit during and post-therapy. The goal here is to improve interpersonal relationships, communication skills, and increase stability and happiness in marriages and families^[26].

Therapy definitions:

• Structural therapy – therapist addresses the issues within a family and reorganizes the structure of the family.^[25]

• Strategic therapy – therapist looks at how the family interacts with one another.^[25]

• Systemic/ Milan therapy – therapist looks at family members’ belief systems.^[25]

• Narrative therapy – therapist focuses and studies the dominant problem in the family, and how it can separated from the family unit.^[25]

• Reality therapy – therapists focus on realism, responsibility and right-and wrong.^[25]

• Transgenerational therapy – therapist looks at the unhealthy patterns of belief, behaviour and interactions.^[25]

Typical workday

A typical day for a RMFT would start around 8-9am^[27]. It would start with seeing his/ her first patient around 8:30-9:30am, giving them time to look over case files and prepare for their upcoming appointment. Usually RMFT and their patients will meet once/twice a week. This will last for several weeks or even months. The amount of time is dependent on each case, how severe it is, and what problems and improvements need to be implemented^[27].

RMFTs appointments throughout the day will differ from one another but will always surround issues involving couples and families^[27]. For example, an RMFTs first appointment could be about a strained parent-child relationship. The second appointment around could be about a couple who just got married and are already fighting significantly. In all of these cases, the RMFT will ask them questions that address their underlying issues. Eventually as the RMFT learns more about their problems, he or she will start to address how to resolve these problems, and maybe even discuss treatment plans. The RMFT will take a lunch around 12pm to 1pm. Around 5 or 6pm, after all of his/ her daily appointments are complete, the therapist will go home^[27].

The RMFTs offices are usually very quiet^[28]. This is required so that they maintain a professional work environment. It is also important so that both the RMFT and his/ her patients can communicate without increasing their voices. The therapist office will also be restrictive with the individuals that work there. This is because they are dealing with confidential information. Therefore, they will not have individuals walking in and out of their office all day. Some RMFTs will have a receptionist if they work in a private practice (separate from their home), but many therapists also have work offices attached to their homes and in their homes^[28].

It is also important to note that RMFTs do not have a “busy season”^[27]. RMFTs are constantly busy because there are always individuals, couples and families that need and want therapy and counseling. Therefore, there is not a particular month that is busier than the other. Therefore, RMFTs are busy year round. However, RMFTs that work in cities will be busier just because it is centered in a more hectic and chaotic environment^[27].

Educational requirements and other qualifications

RMFTs are required to have an undergraduate degree related to the field of marriage and family therapy, for example, it can be psychology, social work or nursing^[29]. Secondly, it is required that RMFTs complete their masters or doctoral degree in a related field, preferably in therapy. RMFTs might also take some additional courses and programs in order to become an RMFT. This depends on what they did their masters in, and how much experience they have in therapy thus far. Once this is complete, RMFTs are required to have a minimum of two years and 1000 hours of therapy that is supervised by qualified professionals. Then they will be considered a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist of Canada, and will be considered a part of the Ontario Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (OAMFT). Certain schools (such as Guelph University) also provide RMFTs with a membership to the Canadian division of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy after completing their masters in couples and family therapy (MSc)^[29].

Related skills, interests, and abilities

Some skills that are extremely important for RMFTs to have are: communication, problem solving and active listening^[30]. Firstly, communication is needed for RMFTs because they are interacting with many diverse people daily. These people have different backgrounds, different temperaments and different beliefs. Therefore, being able to communicate with individuals and covey information or thoughts efficiently is extremely important. What comes hand in hand with communication is being respectful. To be a RMFT, you need to be respectful of diverse other’s views.

Secondly, problem solving is required to be a RMFT. This is because RMFTs need to identify complex problems, review related information, research activities or treatments that can conclude and solve problems, and read about alternative solutions. This is because individuals are seeking the RMFTs help in order to help them with their family problem. Therefore, being skilled in problem solving is an absolute necessity for RMFTs.

Thirdly, active listening is also required to be a RMFT. Being able to communicate and solve patient’s problems all stem from being an active listener. An RMFT cannot do their job if they do not listen to family members speak and listen to how they communicate with one other. An RMFT needs to give their patients their full attention to understand what is trying to be communicated, to ask appropriate questions and to take efficient notes so they can review them later. It is also important to actively listen and not interrupt at inappropriate times. Sometimes the strongest thing an RMFT can do is just actively listen and observe what the family dynamic is like.

Relevance of Psychology undergraduate degree

Psychology is a fundamental field in therapy. Firstly, therapy in general was invented by one of the founding fathers of Psychology, Mr. Sigmund Freud. He specifically developed therapeutic techniques like free association. There are many different fields of therapy in psychology. Marriage and family therapy specifically, is a type of psychological counseling. To be more specific though, in psychology you learn about theories such as attachment security (which is related to felt security and the exploratory behaviour system), personality characteristics (being more shy versus being more outgoing), the Big Five factors (e.g., extraversion versus introversion), classical and operant conditioning, parenting styles (e.g., authoritarian, authoritative and permissive), Erikson’s psychological development theory and much more. Therefore, an individual’s behaviour is not the result of one influence, but is a combination of many influences.

For example, a newlywed couple wants help from an RMFT because they have been fighting significantly. The husband says that when his wife is stressed or angry with other people she takes her frustration out on him. The wife behaving this way, could be a result individual characteristics, what she observed while growing up with her parents, her attachment style (is she insecurely attached?) and/ or her temperament. There are many social, developmental and personality characteristics that can contribute to this behaviour. This is why it is extremely important for RMFT to have a background in psychology, because it is the foundation of everything they are trying to help their patients with. They have to be familiar with psychological research to know and help their parents. Going back to the newlywed couple, the RMFT might suggest different tactics regarding her attachment style or her temperament to change her behaviour. Therefore, in order to do this properly, he/ she will need to know the psychological literature extremely well.

Salary potential

The data for RMFTs salaries was last updated in 2013. The salary ranges from low, median, to high wage^[31]. In Ontario, specifically Toronto, low wages for RMFTs are $17.35, median= $27.78, and high= $38.81 per hour. In a smaller city like Ottawa the salaries are: low= $16.00, median= $23.69 and high= $33.19 per hour. In cities like Kitchener, Waterloo and Barrie the salaries are: low= $16.66, median= $25.59 and high= $35.95 per hour. In cities outside of Ontario like Edmonton salaries for RMFTs are: low= $18.00, median= $30.57 and high= $41.54 per hour. In Vancouver and Lower Mainland Southwest salaries are: low= $18.00, median= $32.31 and high= $40.87 per hour. This, therefore, shows us that the salaries do change depending on the city that you live in. The RMFTs in bigger cities seem to have a slight pay increase (e.g. Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver). However, the smaller cities and towns seem to be getting slightly less e.g. Kitchener, Waterloo and Barrie^[31].

Job outlook

Trinity Western University in British Columbia stated that marriage and family therapists are going to be more in demand and the salary for this profession will continue to grow^[32]. As per their data, this profession is expected to rise 14% from 2008 to 2018. They discovered that 1.8 million people receive therapy for marriage and family problems in 2011 and this number is supposed to increase ^[32]. The YMCA of Hamilton, Burlington and Brantford, however, stated in 2014 that marriage and family therapists will rise 40% through 2020^[33]. This is because mental health is starting to be recognized as a field of importance.

Therefore, even though the data comes from different provinces, they still support the idea that marriage and family therapists are going to be more in demand in the future^[33]. The YMCA predicted a 40% increase compared to the 14% increase the British Columbia, because the Hamilton, Burlington and Brantford are all closer to Toronto. This would support the idea that marriage and family therapists in bigger cities will make more money than therapists smaller cities.

Job Title [Nicole Joseph]

Animal Trainer

General Overview

Animal trainers are needed to teach animals and humans techniques to gain desired responses from animals in certain situations. This career requires people to work with animals to train them in areas of obedience, disability aides, competitive competitions, security and entertainment shows ^[34] .Trainers can work with animals of all shapes and sizes and these animals can be domesticated wild or exotic. Animal trainers have been needed since animals have been domesticated; they teach animals basic skills, such as stopping them from urinating on furniture to more needed benefits, such as protection or sighted guides for people with disabilities.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

Animal Trainers are responsible for creating programs that allow for teaching and maintaining desired behaviours in animals. They do this by creating cues or signals for the animals to learn, and provide additional care for specific breeds of animals. They also need to be aware of any conditions the animal may be suffering from that would prevent learning, as well as needing to know the optimal conditions for learning skills and teaching behaviours. Animal trainers need to work well with animals as well as with people. They need to be able to clearly articulate information to owners. It is their responsibility to observe the animals’ behaviour and identify changes that need to be made and how to make those changes. They need to also be able to give accurate advice to the animal's owners and may need the skill of patience; teaching or changing behaviours requires repetition and continuous interaction^[34].

Typical Workday

An average work day for a trainer can start with the following steps but it is important to note that repeat clients may not need to be assessed then reassessed, they could continue from any previous step they accomplished and return to that step if their training technique did not work. To start, a trainer must speak to the client about what behaviours they want their animal to learn or to change then they must meet and become familiar to the animal and assess them. This means they look at their background and physical situation for any additional information as well as if training can be done in a healthy, safe way. The trainer then must take time to study their behaviour and create a plan or program to change that behaviour. They will share that information with the client and from there they will either continue to train the animal or will supervise the client training their animal. Changing behaviour could take as little as a day or months to complete. A typical full time work day for trainers working within companies is usually an average 8 hour between 9am-9pm, Individuals who are applying to these positions should be aware that they are not always between 9am-5pm and may take longer depending on how difficult a client is to train.

Educational requirements and other qualifications

There are no specific certifications or education needed to be an animal trainer. However, a skilled trainer should have background knowledge in behaviour and learning. They should know classical and operant conditioning, reinforcement, punishment, habituation, sensitization, blocking, motivation, and emotional responses for both animals and humans. They should also know the animal’s specific needs and characteristics, this could involve learning differences in breeds, body language, social signs, fixed action patterns, mating patterns, development, genetics and influences the environment has on their behaviour^[35] . There are some schools dedicated to animal training but it is not a requirement for any job placements. A typical job posting requires an individual to have 1-2 years work experience but it’s not always necessary for that experience to be with animals. Pet Smart and Sea World trains their groomers and trainers but prefers to find individuals who already have some experience in the area they are applying for. Here are a couple resources if you are looking to become educated in how to train animals (it is not required):

Related skills, interests, and abilities

Animal trainers need excellent communication skills and a great deal of patience. They need to be able to work as a team or by themselves and have to be able to handle working with difficult or stubborn animals^[36] . They need to show initiative and problem solving in high stress situations. It may require the trainer to be physically fit, many positions involve outdoor activities or physically demanding training programs^{[36] [37]} .Animal trainers need to be able to handle any response that comes from the animal they are training; this could include vomiting and unwarranted waste excretions. Lastly, trainers need to be able to handle difficult human and animal clients and their human clients may refuse to listen or may hinder the training of their animals.

Relevance of Psychology Undergraduate degree

Animal training requires understanding and interpreting animal and human behaviour. A psychology Undergraduate degree would provide the necessary background information in making this a successful career. This degree teaches you the basics of conditioning and conditioning strategies, motivation, differences in learning and understanding. It teaches you the basics in how to motivate and handle individuals and can teach you how to counsel others. It can teach you differences in personality, interests, ability and performance. It can also teach you the basics in disorders and research methods. Lastly, this degree teaches techniques in leadership and planning. All of these skills are used often in animal training. Brock University offers many courses on learning, perception, brain and behaviour, abnormal behaviour, understanding data, statistics, etc. Animal trainers may need to look up data on different breeds and this career helps them decide which data is appropriate and reliable and their psychology knowledge could show them how to use that knowledge^[34].

Salary potential

Wages vary depending on location and skill of the trainer. The average salary for domesticated animal training could be anywhere between 25,000 dollars- 40,000 dollars annually^{[34][38] [39]}. per full time position. The average salary is in the 30,000 dollar range for a skilled, successful trainer. A successful trainer requires having impressive, accurate references and demonstrates skilled training for a variety of animals. The part time positions usually involve more animal care than animal training so the salary is roughly 10,000 dollars annually^[37]. The salary depends largely on the skill of the trainer and the animal they are training^[40] . Exotic animal trainers in the United States have a slightly higher salary of between 30,000- 54,000 dollars^[41] .

Job outlook

The number of animals being used for services and the number of pet owners have increased over the last few years; because of this more animal trainers are needed for both basic training and service training. This number is likely to continue to grow because of the continually growing population. With the population increasing more people will be adopting and caring for more pets and that will require additional pet needs^[39].

Job Title (Lynsay Jopson)

Personal Support Worker (PSW)

General Overview

Personal Support Workers play an important role in private, group living and facility-based settings. They work in hospitals and care facilities including long- term care, private homes or community care homes ^[42]. Interaction with the PSW may affect the clients daily functioning and overall wellness. Personal Support Workers provide very supportive person-centered care which varies across the lifespan and range from individual to family care. When caring for a patient a PSW would assist with personal care including bathing, getting dressed and they would also assist with outside recreational activities ^[42]. The PSW would take note of the daily activities for each patient and report any changes in the patient’s behaviour.

• Assisting in complete personal care which would involve helping with toileting, bathing and perineal care
• Assisting the individual with eating, dressing and grooming
• Cleaning or sterilizing equipment
• Serving meals
• Assisting clients with outside recreational activities
• Patient watch for patients in clinical care setting
• Documentation of Activities of Daily Living

Typical Workday

A Personal Support worker, the individual has to be flexible when it comes to the hours of work. The shifts can occur during days, evenings, nights and weekends. Also depending on the type of PSW the individual is they may be on call at all times. ^[44] The type of clients or patients that the individual would be working with will depend on the type of PSW they are, long-term care, community care, hospitals or private care. If the individual is working in hospital settings or with a private client, they may need to try and accommodate the family as well as making sure the client’s needs are taken care of. Depending on whether the PSW has more than one client/patient booked for one day, they may have to plan their day strategically to allow themselves enough time to arrive where they need to be in an orderly fashion. Depending on whether the PSW is working with a patient who is in long-term or short-term care, the job duties for them can vary. If it is a short-term care the PSW may just help with small things such as preparing medication, helping them with dressing and bathing. ^[45] Whereas if they are working with patients who are long-term they may do a little more work around the house such as laundry, dishes and making their beds. ^[45] The PSW may spend more quality time with the patient if they do not have a strong family/friend support system.

Educational Requirements and Other Qualifications

If interested in applying to a college PSW program there are some high school requirements. Some schools require more classes than others, but requirements are generally similar. It is important to double check the required courses. The high school courses that are needed include ^[46] & ^[47] & ^[48] :

• Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities PSW vocational standard
• National Association of Career Colleges standards
• Ontario Community Support Associations standards

The National Associations program is starting at the national level to promote standardization of a PSW curriculum. The international program includes approximately 100hours, 800 of study and 200 of internship ^[49]

Some schools that offer courses to obtain a Personal Support Worker certificate include:

Relevance of Psychology Undergraduate Degree

Having a psychology undergraduate degree has some benefits to working as a personal support worker. Some courses that have the potential to give the worker an advantage. If the PSW works with patients who are of an older age, a course on Psychology of Aging would be helpful. This courses gives you an overview of the issues that may arise during late adulthood, along with how physiological, social and cognitive factors play a role in how these older adults cope with difficult tasks ^[50] . If the individual is working with a cliental group that needs support in areas of well-being and functioning, a course on Positive psychology would increase the knowledge of positive experiences. This course has the possibility to be incorporated with encouraging the cliental group to view their life in a positive way, and to update their understanding of information about optimal human functioning ^[50] . Health psychology would be an optimal course to take if the individual was working with patients who are wanting to increase their health and fight through their illnesses ^[50]. This course looks at how behaviours, social contexts and attitudes have the ability to influence our psychological processes and our overall health.

Some courses that are available at Niagara College that would be beneficial for potential students would be Supportive Care. In this course the student would learn about providing and planning to give the families and clients the best support ^[47] . When interacting with clients and their families it will be important for the PSW to be able to communicate what is being documented and how to document what they have been told. Communication in Healthcare would be beneficial to improve necessary written communication through reviewing grammar, writing mechanics and organization of documents ^[47] . At the end of the year a PSW can earn anywhere from $24,153- 40,524. The national average of yearly salary is $31, 441.

The pay scale has the potential to differ depending on the location the individual is working in. Though if working in Ottawa 2% increase, Guelph 2% increase, London is 0%, Hamilton is 1% decrease, Toronto 2% decrease and Kitchener is a 4% decrease from the average pay scale ^[51] .

Job Outlook

Across the country PSW are in high demand due to the increasingly aging population and this is set to continue ^[43] . Employment for PSW is suggested to increase by approximately 51% over the next couple years until the year 2020 ^[52].

Job title (Maddy Schaap)

Project Manager

General overview

Project managers are self-motivated, task-oriented individuals that use their knowledge and expertise to complete projects successfully, on time, and within budget. They are responsible for planning, designing, managing, and closing projects^[53]. Project managers are found in many different industries, such as construction, architecture, engineering, public, and health services. They typically work in group environments, are comfortable with change, and are good team leaders.

Job duties and responsibilities

There are many duties and responsibilities that a project manager is expected to complete. One responsibility involves planning and organizing project assignments. In this case, project managers must design a work plan, budget the time and costs that will go into the project, as well as clarify the project scope and requirements that need to be met. Project managers must work well with other team members, demonstrate leadership, and motivate others. They are responsible for making decisions that benefit the project, and allowing all team members to express their ideas and concerns^[53]. Clear and open communication is necessary in order to avoid any risks and uncertainty. Project managers are responsible for recognizing risks, removing obstacles, and managing unexpected issues or difficulties effectively. They are responsible for creating schedules, and documenting project progression^[53]. When reviewing the project, project managers must make sure the project is completed on time, within the budget, and that it meets or exceeds expectations. Project success depends on the project manager and their abilities to monitor, manage, and complete project tasks effectively and on time.

Typical workday

Project managers typically work Monday to Friday and between the hours of 9:00am-5:00pm. Depending on the circumstances, they may work overtime or on weekends to meet project demands or deadlines. Project managers tend to work in office environments but may be required to work at a client’s office ^[54]. It is not uncommon that project managers hold and attend meetings with other team members to assess project development. Meetings may include discussing short term and long term goals, any changes that may have occurred, and/or barriers to overcome. Project managers typically follow a schedule and are aware of what needs to be completed for the upcoming month in order to keep tasks moving forward. Project managers are constantly communicating with other people, and making sure that tasks will be completed on time ^[55].

Educational requirements and other qualifications

In order to become a qualified project manager, one can complete the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. The PMP is globally the most recognized certification and demonstrates the individual’s education and experience in managing projects. In order to apply for the PMP, one must either have a high school diploma with at least five years (approximately 7,500 hours) of experience in leading projects, OR a four year bachelor’s degree with about three years (approximately 4,500 hours) of experience in leading projects. If these requirements are met, one can apply for the PMP and take the exam. For more information on preparing for the PMP exam visit: http://www.pmi.org/Certification/Project-Management-Professional-PMP.aspx For university graduates, Sheridan College and Humber College offer a one year Project Management program that provides students with the necessary skills of a project manager, and prepares students for the PMP exam. These programs require the completion of a Bachelor’s degree, and a degree in Psychology or Business can be seen as useful when considering Project Management. For more information on the courses provided visit:

Sheridan College: https://www.sheridancollege.ca/academics/programs-and-courses/project-management.aspx (Co-op Available)

Humber College: https://www.humber.ca/program/project-management

Related skills, interests, and abilities

• Problem solving skills: Issues can arise in any project and project managers must be able to recognize and solve problems fast and efficiently. They must also remain calm under pressure and stressful events.
• Leadership skills: Project management typically requires working with other individuals. They must assign roles to all members in the groups, and maintain the team’s confidence in their abilities to reach their goals.
• Good communication skills: Communication is required between the project manager and team of employees. All individuals must clearly understand the goal and their roles in order to reach the goal. Maintaining an open relationship with other employees enables trustworthiness, and confidence that can increase productiveness in the group.

Relevance of psychology undergraduate degree

Given the fact that Project Managers are constantly working with people in team oriented environments, psychology could be seen as a relevant program. Social psychology is useful for understanding how human’s work together, and how projects are being managed under group settings. Each person that plays a role in managing a project is also unique, therefore personality psychology could be useful for understanding individual characteristics and assigning roles to persons in a group. Furthermore, Positive psychology could be helpful because it can improve work environments simply by being positive. For example, optimism may assist Project Managers because they may undergo a lot of change that can be stressful at times and holding a positive outlook may help look past any obstacles. Knowledge on stress and coping methods is also useful in project management and can be taught in Health Psychology. Project management can be stressful at times of getting projects done on time, or on budget. It is important that these individuals cope with stress in positive ways in order to maintain good health.

Salary potential

According to PayScale, 2015, the average salary for a certified project manager with less than one year of experience is $59,997, whereas one with 20 years of experience or more makes $112, 495 on average ^[56]. The salary for a Project Manager can also vary depending on the industry one is working in, the company size, and the city. For instance, a big city like Toronto may require many project managers, and therefore may offer a higher salary because of its high demand.

Job outlook

Project Management is gradually becoming more recognized and in demand all over the world. According to PMI, 2015, it is projected that an average of 1.2 million positions will need to be filled globally for the next decade.

Job Title (Meaghan Barlow)

Criminal Investigative Analysts also known as Criminal Profiler

General Overview

Criminal Investigative Analysis more commonly known as criminal profiling, is an investigative technique used to help law enforcement solve violent crimes. Analysts identify major personality and behavioural characteristics of an offender based upon their analysis of the crime committed^[57] Criminal Investigative Analysts help law enforcement officers narrow down the suspect pool when solving violent crimes^[57]. As a Criminal Investigative Analysts one would also aide in the interview and interrogation process in convicting the right offender^[57].

Job Duties and Responsibilities

Criminal Investigative Analysts work with community law enforcement officers. As a Criminal Investigative Analysts one would go to crime scenes and interpret their surroundings in determining specific characteristics about the offender, such as demographics, physical characteristics, and even their habits.^[58] Criminal Investigative Analysts also are responsible for assessing the crime and recreating the sequence of events that took place during the crime. Once the characteristics of the offender and the sequence of events are recorded, a Criminal Investigative Analyst creates a profile about the offender from all of the previous information gathered^[57]. After creating the profile the Criminal Investigative Analysts help the law enforcement officials through the interview and interrogation process by using unique techniques to catch the offender^[57].

Typical Workday

There is no typical workday for a Criminal Investigative Analyst, everyday there are new violent crimes and many of the crimes are different forcing profilers to travel or create profiles from a distance^[59] One of the common tasks Criminal Investigative Analysts complete on daily basis is sitting in an office for between eight and twelve hours a day reviewing crime scene photos and case materials while working on reports but as soon as an emergency phone call comes in requesting their assistance the Analysts will review and travel to the crime scenes if needed^[59]. Criminal Investigative Analysts analyze crime scenes in hopes to develop an accurate profile of the offender and their behaviour, because crime scenes and offenders are different their work day is always changing^[59].

Educational Requirements and Other Qualifications

A University diploma is not required to become a Criminal Investigative Analyst but one must have an extensive policing experience working with sexual assaults or homicide investigations^[60]. To become a police officer there are two main pathways that individuals can take, the first being a college diploma in police foundations, or a university degree in criminal justice both before applying to the police academy^[60]. Extensive policing experience is a requirement because one must possess knowledge of crime scene investigations, policing procedures regarding interviewing suspects, interrogations, and forensic pathology to be able to create accurate profiles of the offenders^[60].

Related Skills, Interests, and Abilities

To be a successful Criminal Investigative Analysts one must possess extraordinary analytical and critical thinking skills^[61]. Analytical and critical thinking skills are extremely important because as an Analyst it is important to analyze and interpret the offender’s behaviours to determine their specific characteristics to aide in their apprehension^[61]. Another important skill Criminal Investigation Analysts need to possess is good commination skills, whether it be through their written communication or oral communication skills, it is important for Criminal Investigative Analysts to be able to communicate their profiles to the local police as well as communicate with the police when determining techniques used to apprehend the offender^[61]. Lastly an individual’s ability to adapt quickly is an essential skill to have. An individual needs to be able to adapt because when and if an emergency phone call comes about a crime needing a profile they must go and help the local law enforcement^[61]. Also while adapting your work environment Criminal Investigative Analysts have to adapt to who they work with, as an Analysts you are responsible for working with community law enforcement officers who they have never previously worked with and therefore it is important to be able to adapt to your working environment^[61].

Relevance of Psychology Undergraduate Degree

Psychology is the understanding of human behaviour and thus it is an asset to have a background in psychology when one wants to become a Criminal Investigative Analyst. Psychology is important in because the main purpose of the job is to analyze and understand the offender’s behaviours to infer specific characteristics regarding the offender’s habits, demographics, and cognitive processes^[62]Without broad knowledge in psychology one might not be able to understand the motives and behaviours of the offender and therefore the profile they create may be less accurate.

Knowledge in psychological statistics and empirical designs are also helpful to Criminal Investigative Analysts because the characteristics that are inferred from the offender’s behaviour during the crime are correlated with empirical data and peer-reviewed research and therefore it would be essential to understand psychological research to support their criminal profile^[62]. It is possible to become a criminal profiler without understanding statistics and empirical designs but the understanding will allow the individual to fully grasp the variables in the crime to create the most accurate profile.

Lastly knowledge in forensic psychology will help a Criminal Investigative Analyst understand the workings of interrogation techniques^[62]. Criminal Investigative Analysts in the interrogation process help law enforcement officers develop techniques. Through the interrogation Criminal Investigative Analysts are able to adapt questions in hopes to receive confessions^[62]. Although in Canada one is not required to have a degree in psychology to become a Criminal Investigative Analysts, it would be an asset to have the added knowledge.

If one wanted to become a Criminal Investigative Analysts Brock University offers a few psychology classes that have direct links to important aspects of criminal profiling. One class to start with would be the third year Forensic Psychology class (PSYC 3P52). In this class students learn directly about criminal profiling as well as learning about many case studies in which a criminal profile helped law enforcement officers apprehend the offender. Through this class students are better able to understand all the aspects within a criminal profile and get a better understanding of what it means to be a Criminal Analysts. If students want to further their education about forensic psychology then taking fourth year Psychology of the Violent Predator (PSYC 4P72) will help them learn. In this class students are able to explore the minds of violent predators, from murders, serial killers and psychopaths, but they are also able to learn more about criminal profiling and how profiles have been shown to benefit law enforcement officers. Both of these courses Brock offers allow one to gain insights on some of the most dangerous minds, and offers students the opportunity to use their knowledge in psychology to bring the criminals to justice.

Salary Potential

The salary potential for a Criminal Investigative Analysts ranges depending on where one works. Those who work for a private practice have the opportunity earn far more than those who work along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police^[63]. It is hard to find complete figures for those who work in private practice, it is estimated that they have the earned more than $120 thousand a year^[63]. For those who are a part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police recent job offers state salaries from between 76 thousand dollars a year and 82 thousand dollars a year^[63]. Salaries range for Criminal Investigative Analysts based on their education and skill levels, those who have more experience and received higher education have earned more money in recent years according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police jobs board.

Job Outlook

Criminal Investigative Analyst jobs are hard to find. In Canada there only three places regularly hiring them: the Ontario Provincial Police, Royal Mounted Police and Surete du Quebec are the only government agencies that hire criminal Investigative Analysts to be a part of their teams^[64]. In Canada the crime rate in 2013 was the lowest it has been since 1972, and with the crime rate decreasing it suggest that there will be even fewer opportunities in becoming a Criminal Investigative Analyst^[65]. With there being so little opportunities it is important to make the most of the opportunities that a psychology degree will offer you.

Job Title (Peter Dupuis)

Firefighter

General Overview

Firefighters (Volunteer and Full Time) are present in all communities. They are expected to not only fight fires, but work closely with both the Police and Paramedics to deal with any other emergencies that may arise. Additionally, Firefighters are active in the community with health and safety promotion, home inspections, and numerous volunteer events. Firefighters are expected to act in a professional manner both on and off duty, as they are looked at as leaders by the general public.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

Firefighters have a wide variety of everyday duties, including but not limited to:

• Fighting fires
• Assisting Police Officers and Paramedics in other emergencies (Environmental, etc.)
• Performing first aid and emergency medical procedures
• Daily equipment checks (Fire trucks, hoses, sirens, suits etc.)
• Local house inspections or overview of building permits
• Community health and safety promotion
• Maintaining optimum physical fitness
• Housecleaning duties at the station (cleaning, mopping, laundry, etc.)
• Career promotion and recruitment (Job fairs/school appearances)
• Maintaining a professional, respectful relationship with fellow fire fighters
• Maintaining a professional manner both on and off duty

A Typical Workday

In most jurisdictions, firefighters work either two 24 hour shifts a week, or three 16 hour shifts^[66]. Due to the long work hours, and the nature of their work, firefighters have an extremely close bond with others in their service^[66]. Firefighters treat those that they work with like a family, regardless of if they are on or off duty. There is no such thing as a “typical” work day in the life of a firefighter, as responsibilities can change as a result of certain events. As per the job title, a fire fighters main responsibility is fighting fires. However, they may also be asked to respond to other emergencies (or non-emergencies) with both Paramedics and Police. These may include environmental emergencies, crowd control, or any other scenario where they could be of service. On top of emergency services, there are many other tasks completed by firefighters on a daily basis, both in the station and in the community. In the station, a firefighter may be expected to perform daily equipment checks, cleaning duties, paperwork, and general maintenance. In the community, firefighters may be expected to be active in health and safety promotion, career recruitment, building planning, and various other volunteer events. Firefighters may also engage in certain forms of training throughout a general workday, which can include medical certifications (EMT/First Aid), fire service certification (Level 1 or 2) and physical fitness training.

Education Requirements and other Certifications

The requirements for a firefighter vary between different jurisdictions. Generally, the larger the population that is being serviced (Toronto, New York etc.) the more requirements are needed. In general, any given fire department may ask for the following:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Legally able to work in Canada
• High school diploma (or equivalent)
• First Aid (Level C or higher)
• Have a clean criminal record
• Community service hours
• Volunteer Firefighter experience (In a small community or part time)
• Valid “G” Drivers licence
• Be in optimal physical condition (Pass a strength and conditioning test)
• Be comfortable with shift work
• Be comfortable with heights and small spaces
• Be comfortable working in close quarters with others
• Be comfortable working under intense pressure and stress

Further certifications that may be required by larger jurisdictions may include:

• Pre Service Fire Fighting Education and Training (See http://www.georgiancollege.ca/academics/full-time-programs/pre-service-firefighter-education-and-training-fire/ for more details)

OR

• Firefighter certificates Level 1 and 2 (Tests and training that are observed by a Chief or instructor)
• A “DZ” drivers licence (For large trucks)
• Full “EMT” certification (See http://www.georgiancollege.ca/academics/full-time-programs/paramedic-para/)
• Post-Secondary Education (Communication, Psychology, Sociology etc.)

Related skills, interests, and hobbies

Due to the length of their shifts, and nature of their work, firefighters maintain an extremely close bond with one another. Additionally, they are looked at as role models in the community, so much so that many consider them heroes. Aside from the education and certificates required, a few personal skills that may be looked for in a good firefighter include:

• Very personable and sociable
• Puts others before his/herself
• Experience working as a team (athletics, clubs, jobs)
• Public speaking skills
• A general interest in helping the community and being involved
• Genuine interest in their own health
• Discipline
• Respect
• Confidence
• Leadership

Relevance of Psychology Undergraduate Degree

In certain educational programs for firefighting, students are expected to complete general psychology courses as a part of the curriculum. As an example, Humber College’s Pre-Service Firefighting Program requires that students complete a minimum of 1 psychology course in order to graduate. To see the entire curriculum, visit http://www.humber.ca/program/pre-service-firefighter-education-and-training

In addition, an undergraduate degree in psychology can be extremely useful in pursuing your career as a firefighter. More specifically, courses that focus on health psychology, social psychology and forensic psychology all teach relevant knowledge for a career in firefighting. Firefighting is a very demanding occupation and can be extremely stressful. Knowledge in personal coping methods, causes and treatments of anxiety, and other forms of self-care are all taught in a basic health psychology. Additionally, a social psychology course may teach invaluable information about effective leadership, teamwork skills, and communication. All of these skills are essential as firefighters work closely not only with each other but with the community as well. Lastly, basic knowledge in forensic psychology may be useful a firefighter because of their work with police and paramedics. This is including but not limited to basic interrogation skills, knowledge in witness testimony, and other legal matters.

Salary Potential

Firefighting wages vary in jurisdictions. As of 2015, the average annual wage for a firefighter in Canada is $58,164^[67]. Overall, wages can range between 37,000-88,000 annually^[67]. The more experience and certifications you have, the higher your wages can get. Additionally, you can be a volunteer firefighter in small communities, which for the most part is unpaid (Tax right off is possible).

Job Outlook

According to Statistics Canada (2015) the availability of full time firefighter jobs throughout Canada should steadily increase over the next few years ^[68]. This is primarily due to the retirement (firefighters generally retire at an early age), and the rapid expansion of populations in certain communities. The two provinces with the largest need for full time firefighters are Alberta and Prince Edward Island.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer (Dakota Maruzin)

General Overview

The RCMP is the national police service of Canada. Unique to the world, the RCMP is a federal, provincial, and municipal police force. The RCMP provides police services to all Canadians, and community policing under contract to the three territories and eight provinces, excluding Ontario and Quebec. The RCMP operates out of more than 750 detachments, including more than 150 municipalities and over 600 Aboriginal communities and three international airports^[69]. A police officer of the RCMP ensures the safety and security of those in the community. Officers are responsible for enforcing the law and investigating crimes, and are role models and leaders who provide guidance to people from all walks of life.

Job duties and responsibilities

As a police officer with the RCMP, duties and responsibilities include ensuring public safety and security, enforcing the law, and conducting crime investigations. Ensuring public safety and security results from emergency responding and assistance to victims. It is also a duty to uphold police-community relations and multiculturalism through community awareness and relations. Apprehension of criminals, response to alarms, disputes, and complaints, patrols, and enforcement of highway and traffic laws are all the duties involved in enforcing the law. For investigations, evidence collection at crime scenes, interviews of suspects and witnesses, collection of notes and reports, and testifying in court are all duties involved for an officer of the RCMP^[70].

Typical workday

Policing is a 24-hour-per-day necessity therefore shift work is required. This can consist of shifts during the night, evenings, weekends, and holidays ^[70]. These shifts can vary from 8 – 12 hours. During the shift, it is required that all duties and responsibilities are completed with the upmost efficiency. Officers are expected to carry a firearm and use it or any other force necessary to restore order and safety, and because every day is unique, officers may be exposed to trauma, violence and disturbing situations.

Educational requirements and other qualifications

To be an RCMP officer, you must: be a Canadian citizen or have full Canadian citizenship, be proficient in English or French, possess a valid, unrestricted driver’s license, possess a Canadian secondary school diploma or equivalent, meet health and psychological standards, meet vision standards, meet hearing standards, have access to a dentist, meet the necessary level of physical fitness, be prepared to carry a firearm and use it or any other necessary physical force, be willing to relocate to anywhere in Canada, be willing to spend six months at the RCMP training academy in Saskatchewan, be willing to work shift work, be free and clear of any illegal activity and have no criminal charges pending, be free of improper use of prescription or illegal drugs, and lastly be of good character and meet behaviour standards ^[71].

Related skills, interests, and abilities

Officers are required to have competencies of integrity, honesty, professionalism, compassion, respect, accountability, problem solving, leadership, thinking skills, client-centered service, personal effectiveness and flexibility, planning and organizing, interpersonal skills, communication, and continuous learning ^[72].

Relevance of Psychology undergraduate degree

RCMP requirements state that only a High school diploma or equivalent is necessary, however post secondary education, particularly in Psychology can be extremely beneficial. Courses in psychology educate on topics about human behaviour and how and why we do things; this is invaluable in a career as a police officer. Courses in social psychology, cognition, abnormal psychology, and of course forensic psychology can be very beneficial. Social psychology can give a basis on what people generally do and the biases that are most common regarding our beliefs. Cognition courses provide an overview on the abilities and limitations of the human brain. This can become especially important when using police discretion about a particular crime that was committed. For example, if a youth committed a misdemeanor while with a group of peers, this individual is likely at low risk of committing a future crime. Abnormal psychology is extremely important for highlighting prevalence of mental illness in the population, which every police officer should be aware when approaching a call to a disturbance or crime. Forensic psychology is essential to understand not only antisocial behaviour of criminals, but also behaviour of fellow police officers and the inner workings of the legal system and the perceptions of the public.

Salary potential

After successfully completing the Cadet Training Program and being offered employment, the Constable entry annual salary is $50,624. After six months service annual salary will increase to $65,840. After 12 months service salary will increase to $71,435, after 24 months to $77,032, and after 36 months service to $82,108^[73].

Job outlook

Hiring opportunities stem from the need to replace retiring police officers. Because police officers usually retire at an earlier age than the average worker, the rate of hire should match that. Unemployment rates are very low in this occupation. The occupation attracts many candidates, however, only a portion meet the requirements and of those that do, a minority can work because of quotas. But because this is field is a necessity for society, job prospects in this occupation are deemed fair ^[74].

Animal Assisted Therapist (Dinogy Ravinthiran)

General Overview

An Animal Assisted Therapist is a qualified therapist or professional specialized in animal therapy that seeks out to improve patient’s lives who vary in different disorders such as autism, depression or other disabilities. The goal is to help improve their mental, physical, social and emotional well being through the use of animals. Therapists deal with a wide range of age groups in many types of settings such as mental health facilities, schools, prisons or hospitals. Animal Assisted Therapists also work with different types of animals including and not limited to dogs, horses and dolphins. The therapeutic process can involve interacting with an animal being around them, petting them and taking care of them, which in return creates a bond between the patient and animal^[75]

Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Assessing the needs and skills of the patient
• Setting individual treatment plans and specific goals for each session to help develop the use of physical, social and cognitive skills for better functioning (e.g. techniques to improve motor skills by petting or riding a horse)
• Working to remove barriers that prevent patients from being their normal selves and participating in society
• Helping patients interact safely and efficiently with therapy animals
• Motivating and teaching patients the benefits of the therapy
• Monitoring and evaluating progress of patients
• Scheduling appointments

Typical Workday

Shifts include mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends and weekdays^[76]. Depending on the number of clients and their specific time needed for rehabilitation, the therapists working hours can vary. Some patients may want fewer sessions that last longer (couple of hours a day) while others may want many sessions that are shorter (an hour a day). Thus, there are no specific months or seasons in which the workload may increase or decrease, but a typical day may range from an hour to several hours depending on the client. There can also be expectations of unusual shifts, as the therapist may need to accommodate the patients and their availability and they must also be willing to work in any weather conditions.

Depending on the setting the clients can vary. For example clients can vary in age (from young children to the elderly) and where they are located. Work place settings can include schools, prisons, hospitals, mental institutes and senior homes. Clients can include students, patients at hospitals and mental institutes, prisoners or the elderly. Animal Assisted Therapist must also be willing to be prepared to deal with different personalities and behaviors (such as physical or verbally aggressive) clients and must be able to keep themselves, the client and the therapy animal calm^[76].

Animal Assisted Therapists can work amongst many different colleagues, depending on the situation that the therapy animal is being used for. Colleagues can include other therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, teachers, police officers and many more^[76]. Most importantly, Animal Assisted Therapists must work alongside different types of therapy animals such as dogs, farm animals, marine animals and much more.

Some of the special tools and technology required for the job involve having properly trained and medically examined animals who are able to stay calm among a variety of different situations and people at any given time. Other tools may include other equipment that may be needed for the animal (such as food, saddles etc) and the patient’s needs (e.g., walkers, wheelchairs etc).

Educational Requirements and Other Qualifications

To qualify to be an Animal Assisted Therapist, one must complete a four-year BA or certificate in recreational therapy or a related field such as psychology or social work^[77]. Having a Masters Degree can also give you an advantage in some positions depending on the employer and institute you may wish to work at ^[76]. Depending on the region, some employers may also want to hire graduates who have internship experience or are certified by the National Council of Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) in Canada or other registered therapy practices ^[77]. This can include provinces such as Alberta who has many health institutes that require Animal Assisted Therapists in their program.

Other requirements that may also be beneficial to get hired is having a certification in First Aid and CPR training, specialized training in patient assessment and or having a certificate in Animal Assisted Therapy ^[76]. To obtain an Animal Assisted Therapy certificate (which can be done online) requires the completion of 15 credits and a 40-hour hands on experience fieldwork at the Animal Behavior Institute^[78]. Once this certification has been completed, it is not necessary to renew it. Ongoing training is not necessary, but gaining hands on experience can increase ones credibility as an Animal Assisted Therapist. For more information about getting certified in Animal Assisted Therapy, check out AAT certification program

Related Skills, Interests, and Abilities

• Multitask: Essential for the job as the therapist is required to focus on both the client and animal at all times while also assessing and reporting the progress being made by the client
• Organize: Being able to plan appointments without conflicts, creating treatment plans specific for each client and keeping sessions on track is essential part of the job
• Communication: Being able to communicate effectively with the client and animal is essential as the primary goal of this job is to work with others. The individual must also have proficient writing skills as they are required to report details of progression during therapy which can later help improve outcome
• Being able to work both alone and in a group setting
• Enjoy working with a variety of people from different backgrounds and interacting with animals
• Being able to create authentic relationships with both patients and therapy animals
• Interested in helping others cope with their problems
• Be caring, compassionate, empathetic, positive and encouraging

Relevance of Psychology Undergraduate Degree

Psychology plays a relevant part in Animal Assisted Therapy because part of psychology involves trying to change behaviors and help with a variety of psychological disorders. Having a background in psychology allows an Animal Assisted Therapist to use their knowledge of psychopathology, cognition, learning behaviors and stress to help implement it into their therapy techniques to get the most efficient results. For example having knowledge about the development of abnormal behaviour and psychopathologies gives the therapist an insight to the etiology and potential treatment actions that best work for the specific disorder. By having this knowledge they are able to implement it with the use of therapy animals. Having knowledge about cognition and learning behaviors is also beneficial because it gives the therapist the ability to know how an individual’s brain works along with the different learning behaviors of individuals which can be helpful when making individual treatment plans to correct behavior. Overall, stress can also be a major reason as to why many individuals part take in Animal Assisted Therapy, so it is essential that therapists are well aware of how our brain perceives stress and the impacts associated with it. With this background knowledge, the therapist is later able to use the therapy animal to help decrease the stress as it has been seen to be effective in many cases. For example, in many universities including Brock, during exam times dogs are brought in to help decrease the stress among students.

Salary Potential

The Canadian starting salary of an Animal Assisted Therapist is $15.88/ hour leading to an annual salary of $34,425. The typical average wage can be up to $25.35 per hour. During the first 5-10 years of the job, there is potential to increase the pay with additional experience and qualifications leading to an annual salary of up to $65,688 ($31.78/ hour), but after about 20 years there is no potential to grow^[79]. Depending on the province salary potential may differ as different requirements are expected. For example, The Alberta Health Services Institute pays their therapist depending on experience, where they work and their responsibilities. Their pay range can vary from $34.33/ hour to $48.25/ hour depending on these factor ^[76].

Job Outlook

It has been projected that Animal Assisted Therapy and therapy in general will grow by 27%- 28% in the next ten years^[78]. Many jobs can incorporate animal therapy for reducing stress and dealing with more complex issues such as helping with psychological disorders. Animals give people positive feelings and this form of therapy can be very beneficial especially for those who are shy and or have difficulty communicating with others^[80]. Thus, it is likely that demand for these jobs will be prevalent among urban settings as there are more opportunities for this therapy to be used in work settings, schools and hospitals compared to rural areas where there may not be as much opportunities available.

Common career paths taken by Talent Acquisition Recruiters with 5-10 years of experience include: HR Generalist, HR Manager, HR Director, and Senior HR Manager^[83]

Job duties and responsibilities

• Recruit prospective candidates using methods such as social media, cold calling and networking^[84].
• Compete thorough background and reference checks on all prospective candidates^[84].
• Schedule interviews with potential candidates via phone, Skype or in person.
• Work alongside hiring managers in selecting candidates to interview, and provide the hiring manager with recommendations concerning the candidate preceding the interview^[84].

• Conduct interviews alongside fellow recruiters and hiring managers^[84].
• Occasionally work offsite to host recruitment career opportunities with other Talent Acquisition employees^[84].
• Screen job applications prior to selecting and interviewing candidates^[84].

Typical workday

A recruiter typically works Monday to Friday fulfilling 40 hours a week, unless required to conduct interviews off site or attend recruitment events seeking prospective candidates^[85]. In these situations a recruiter may fulfill more than 40 hours per week. Recruiters work within Human Resource Departments in which HR is required in all large corporations. Typically recruiters will work in an office environment within the HR department and with fellow Talent Acquisition employees to ensure productivity and flow in the hiring process. It is necessary for a recruiter to work with hiring managers of other departments to ensure the selection of a successful candidate that will fulfill the requirements of the vacant position. A central part to a recruiter’s responsibility is to network externally to seek out candidates that will represent the company. It should be noted that recruiters experience higher work demands when finalizing a job offer. This process involves creating employment contracts, and ensuring the candidate is aware of company policies. Essentially, recruiters should be comfortable with the public, and able to work with websites and media to ensure job postings are posted and experienced candidates are chosen^[85].

Educational requirements and other qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in a related field such as Psychology or Business Administration (Human Resources Management Concentration) and/or certificate in Human Resources^[86].
• 1-2 years minimum experience in Human Resources related work for entry level^[86].

      • Professional Level CHRL Designation
      • Executive Level CHRE Designation
• Recruiters and all Human Resources Professionals with a CHRP, CHRL or CHRE designation must maintain their membership in the HPRA Association and meet the ongoing continuing professional development (CPD) requirement in order to maintain their designation^[87].CDP requires that members obtain 66.67 hours of professional development for ever three-year CPD cycle^[87]. CPD hours can be earned through leadership activities and completion of work projects or research^[87].

Related skills, interests and abilities

• Interest in social media, and networking through social media would be important as job alerts can be provided via Twitter, Facebook, and e-mail.
• Communicating and networking with people is important in finding candidates who are suitable for the position you are filling.
• Being friendly and informative. In interviews these traits make feel comfortable and create a stress free environment.
• Being patient is also important because interviews are often repetitive and require a minimum of an hour to conduct. Patience and friendliness are important in allowing each candidate an equal opportunity.
• An overall interest in interacting with people is one of the most important aspects of the job as recruiters spend most of their career networking and interviewing candidates as well as working with fellow employees.

Relevance of Psychology undergraduate degree

Statistics and Behavioural Research Design in the Behavioural Sciences offered as a second year course at Brock teaches students the importance of critically thinking and using statistics to understand and problem solve. In reference to recruitment, Talent Acquisition Recruiters are responsible for creating offer letters that specify a full time employees salary, and occasionally a part time employees hourly wage including their pay periods, the amount paid and vacation pay. Recruiters that employee candidates under union legislation are required to follow salary caps and inform each employee of their salary breakdown. Critically analyzing a Collective Agreement and understanding the minimum and maximum salary caps for employees is important for the company in terms of legality and Labour laws^[88].

Personality and Individual Differences is also a second year course that addresses the genetic and environmental factors that affect human functioning, essential components of psychology that a recruiter may need. While conducting interviews it is critical to address the persons positive and negative attributes, personality traits, and the potential for the traits to flourish or conflict with the environment of the organization^[88].

Psychology students who have a particular interest in pursuing a career in Human Resources are able to take business electives throughout their undergraduate degree. It is important to note that enrolling in a first year Business course is a prerequisite for upper year business courses. Students who choose to take a business elective may take an Organizational Behaviour class. This course covers topics that include leadership, conflict, and organizational theory and design^[89].

Salary potential

Entry level Talent Acquisition Recruiters with less than 5 years of experience typically earn between $40,000-$45,000 a year with potential for bonuses and commission^[83].

Experienced recruiters with 10-20 years of experience earn an approximate annual salary of $69,000, where later career recruiters with 20+ years of experience can earn $79,000 annually^[83].

Recruiters who work for larger multi-national organizations typically earn more than do recruiters from smaller organizations<ref_name="job" />. Also, recruiters who work in larger geographical locations tend to earn more than fellow employees working in remote locations^[86].

Overall, it is projected that Talent Acquisition Recruiters earn $45,511 annually, as people in this position typically do not have more than 10 years of experience and follow other HR career paths^[83].

Job outlook

Human Resources jobs have been listed on Randstad’s 2014 Hot Jobs list and surveys report that 62% of corporations are hiring for HR jobs when there are more than 25,000 employees in that organization^[90]. It is reported that employment for recruiters will increase by 7% percent by the year 2022, which is comparable to the rate of growth for other occupations^[90].
