Experience scope
Categories
Communications Humanities Social sciencesSkills
project planning critical thinking communication researchOne or more HBSW Indigenous social work students from Laurentian University are available to be your virtual interns, in a project- or virtual service-based experience. Students will engage in one or more projects or services of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students are available for up to 300 or 400 hours of placement from May to end of July 2021.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
These project or service offerings are part of the field education experience, an agency-based course in which students apply, in supervised practice, the theoretical concepts, principles, values, and ethics taught in the classroom. In addition to the supervised learning of skills with individuals, families, and groups, students will be socialized to the identity of a professional social worker and the many roles that social workers occupy in agencies and the community.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. The student should complete up to 300 (3rd-year) or 400 hours (4th-year) with your organization by July 30, 2021.
