Students are introduced to field placement and the workplace. Through practical experience in an area of study, students practice vocational skills, including interpersonal skills and communication for work. Students take initiative and engage in self-directed learning with guidance of field placement supervisors and employment liaison officer.
Students explore workplace roles and responsibilities associated with their area of study and engage in goal setting and planning. Self-evaluation is ongoing and relates to developing vocational skills, professional skills and work habits, and goal setting skills.
Students complete 40 to 60 hours in Field Placement I plus one hour of in-class instruction weekly. Additionally, the CICE Program Fieldwork Manuals contain relevant policies and procedures to guide students and field supervisors.
