CP 355 - Career Practicum 1-8 Credit Hours
A Career Practicum is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional workplace setting under the direct supervision by a professional with relevant education and/or expertise. The experience (an internship, clinical rotation, student teaching, or research internship) provides students with a robust opportunity to gain practical experience for future employment and/or graduate school application and helps them reflect on and fine-tune career path directions(s). During the Career Practicum, students execute career management skills learned through their Career and Vocation courses including building social capital through professional networking, gaining career self-efficacy and self-advocacy, and gaining access to unpublished career opportunities. The Career Practicum presents students with the opportunity to practice working in the careers they aspire to have upon graduation while receiving wraparound support from the Dominican community. The Career Practicum is a critical step in a student’s professional career, as this type of experiential learning has been known to increase a student’s likelihood of post-graduation success in securing a full-time position, graduate school enrollment, and/or full-time professional volunteer service. A Career Practicum provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience, develop social capital, and explore professional career paths.
