Field Practice 4

Supervised practice at the level of a graduate affirms work-place readiness for the child and youth care practitioner. This culminating placement experience prepares students for employment in the child and youth care field. In the placement setting, students apply vocational skills at an employment-ready level, indicative of an understanding of each child, youth, and family's unique life space, ecology, and social location. Final personal, professional, and clinical goals are set and evaluated with an emphasis on system navigation, advocacy, strength-based assessment, intervention, and interprofessional collaboration.
