Students who wish to choose the practicum elective may be placed in a practicum by the practicum instructor or may choose to do the practicum in their workplace.  Practicum in your workplace must be approved by your workplace and your instructor.

To be eligible to register in the practicum, applicants must meet the following:
1. Successfully completed all theory courses
2. Submit Adult Criminal Record/Vulnerable Sector (ACRVS) Check and Provincial Child Abuse Registry (PCAR) Check conducted within six months of attending the practicum.

This is the opportunity to put your course work into practice with guidance and support from a mentor and and instructor. Their experience and expertise will be of great benefit to you. Doing the practicum in your own agency (if this can be approved) will allow you to work on a project that will benefit the the agency's volunteer program. With approval from the practicum placement you might choose one of the following: create a market plan; write a policy manual; conduct a risk assessment; conduct a needs assessment and training plan; create an orientation package. All projects require approval by the instructor and the supervisor at the placement.
