Two New Certificate Programs Debut at NSCC This Fall

The following press release is courtesy of

North Shore Community College (NSCC) will launch two new credit certificate programs this fall: the Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Certificate and the Dietary Management Certificate.  

The Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Certificate was developed to address the high demand for human service practitioners in agencies that serve children and adolescents and their families. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that human service careers are among the fastest growing occupations in the United States.

The program emphasizes prevention, intervention and treatment strategies to facilitate positive change in children, adolescents and their families. Students who successfully complete the certificate program may find employment in treatment settings such as schools, community agencies, residential programs, hospitals and family homes.  

The Dietary Management Certificate program is designed to prepare students for entry level managerial positions in establishments such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, assisted living centers, schools, and food service contract companies. Upon graduation, students will be able to prepare nutritious menus, purchase, receive and store foods, maintain food safety and sanitation standards, manage personnel and maintain basic quality assurance and budgetary reports.

NSCC’s Fall 2011 semester begins September 7. For information on any of NSCC’s credit programs of study, contact the Admissions Department at info@northshore.edu or at 781-477-2107 or 978-762-4188.
