2.5: Using your workplace as a practicum placement
If a student desires to use his/her job within a human service agency as a practicum placement, the student presents this option to the Practicum Instructor and the agency supervisor for approval. For this option to be approved, students must document that current job duties are Human Service related. In addition, 25% (31 hours) of the practicum hours must be made up of new tasks, perhaps in another service or at a higher job level. This will ensure that the practicum assignment constitutes a new learning experience and meets a student's career goals.
