Practicum opportunities are an important component of the program, allowing you to integrate theory with practical experience in the community. You will connect with industry leaders and receive mentorship and guidance as you work directly with vulnerable populations. This could include local community organizations or international opportunities, depending on availability. You will need to have reliable transportation to reach your practicum placements. You can also accept practicum placements located close to public transit or within walking distance.
