Human Services

Choose a career of service

If you want a career where you play an important role helping people, the Human Services program at Marshalltown Community College may be the perfect academic preparation for you.

You will be a highly marketable employee when you complete MCC’s Human Services program.

You can choose an entry-level career located in a human services agency, health care center, correctional or rehabilitation center, school system, gerontology-centered organization, family therapy or counseling center, or substance abuse treatment and prevention center.

Or you may choose to transfer to a four-year college or university with a solid core of human services skills and education.

This service industry is one of the fastest growing career areas in today’s society. And one of the most needed skills in human services positions is compassion - a true sympathy for difficult life situations of others. Jobs in human services are service oriented, involving care for and helping people with special needs.

If you are a people person, someone who loves to work with others, human services offers many rewarding career opportunities including: child development workers with mentally retarded; youth service workers in facilities for delinquent and dependent youth; residential staff in schools for children with disabilities; education staff in facilities for disabled children; and supervisors in career programs with adults with disabilities.

“I had no idea how valuable these classes were until I started job hunting. Knowing all the programs so thoroughly really gave me an edge. I found a job right away.  I can’t tell you how many times people ask me to help them with something computer related. It gives me job security.”
