SSCI 3098U – Pre-Practicum

This course offers students opportunities to strengthen and refine their sense of professionalism and practicum-readiness. Through a series of intentional-learning-activities, students will learn to explore, identify, and showcase their knowledge and transferrable skills. Additionally, each student will receive customized feedback on their progress. Students will continually ‘test’, reflect, and improve upon their professional approach, as it relates to their field of study. As a means of preparing for the fourth year practicum, the Pre-Practicum course is enhanced by the following takeaways: resume and cover letter preparation, mock interviews, goal formation, personal-statement formation, community partner engagement, and training (diversity, mental health, and safety).
