Worksite learning, also known as a practicum, is a key component of the
Classroom and Community Support program. Each practicum lets you gain
experience by applying classroom learning in the field and gain valuable
employment contacts. You can expect to complete over 250 hours of field
practice in placements arranged around Metro Vancouver and the Fraser
Valley.
How long is each session?
You complete at least two field placements. The first 5-week practicum
takes place at the beginning of the second semester, the second 5-week
practicum is held at the end of the third semester.
Where do I take my practicum?
Practicum sites are located across the Lower Mainland. Placements are
selected by faculty, based on your interests and learning needs and site
availability.
Examples of practicum sites for the Classroom and Community Support
program are:
Public and private school districts across the Lower Mainland and
Fraser Valley
