Professional Development Practicum
Description
This is an elective option, and is a one term placement with a community partner involving approximately 7-10 hours a week during the fall or winter terms. It gives students an opportunity to gain professional experience in the nonprofit/philanthropic sector by working closely with a host community partner on a project that is of value to the host and a learning experience for the student. It culminates in a 15-20 page analytical paper (or equivalent) to be assessed by the PNL Graduate Supervisor, and assigned a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade. Please contact the PNL Graduate Administrator early in the term before you wish to undertake a placement to identify a suitable placement and arrange a learning agreement with the host.

The program has a large database of community partners for practicums/capstone opportunities. In addition, the students are welcome to suggest an organization to the MPNL Graduate Administrator for consideration
