Fleming College

Programs that address evolving community need

The world is changing, and your program should change with it. Community Services programs at Fleming are designed with a progressive curriculum that is frequently reviewed. Fleming’s Police Foundations program offers a transformative experience that is built on four pillars to prepare students for police: Communication; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Health and Wellness; and Community Service. This program is leading the way in providing specialized training to respond to an increasing number of mental health calls-for-service. The Customs/Border Services Administration program, which already has one of the most customs-specific curricula in Canada, recently underwent significant updates to its course content. In Fleming’s Early Childhood Education program students can earn an Eco-Mentorship Certificate to help children learn about and care for their local environment.

In our annual Mass Casualty Simulation Paramedic and Pre-Service Firefighter students work together on two large scale incidents, with a debrief after each incident to enhance immediate learning. Several programs take advantage of de-escalation training in our 360 degree virtual scenario room. Police Foundations students have the opportunity to participate in a ride-along with officers on patrol. Paralegal students practice litigation skills in our on-campus courtroom. Community and Justice Services students work with inmates in correctional institutions, using their practical and theoretical education for meaningful communications.
