Placement Preparation

For many students, starting placement in their second year can sometimes be a daunting task. In addition to all of the course work and the various responsibilities that students have at the end of their first year, preparation for placement can also be a source of challenge and confusion. This course is a bi-weekly course intended to help students prepare for their placement in the second year of the program. This course is the first part of the CJS. 306 - Integrative Seminar that is offered in the third semester of the program. This course focuses on issues such as: What is placement? What has to be in place to prepare for the placement? What skills and strategies are needed to develop to help effectively prepare for placement? During this seminar, students are provided with information relevant to the completion of health passports, police record check, cover letters and resum s, and all other relevant documents. Further to this, the course also supports students in identifying their particular areas of interest in the field and, as such, will provide students opportunities to engage in activities which promote self-analysis, identify their readiness for placement and explore specific placement opportunities that are relevant to their areas of interest.
