The Substance Abuse Counsellor Education Technical Diploma equips individuals with the skills needed to prevent substance abuse, provide counseling for individuals and families dealing with drug and alcohol issues, and deliver intervention and therapeutic services for those affected by addiction.

This diploma also fulfills the 100-hour educational requirement for obtaining a Substance Abuse Counselor in Training license, as mandated by the State of Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
