PSWD 591 - Practicum: Workforce Development

The most powerful teaching tool is the application of knowledge. The practicum experience provides the student the opportunity to combine previous knowledge and skills with the newly acquired knowledge and skills (from the prior two courses, Workforce Development Professional Competencies and Professional Assessment and Development); incorporate this “combined” knowledge into his/her institution’s workforce development activities (i.e., increased job responsibilities, new program or partnership development, marketing strategies); and strengthen the student’s contributions to workforce development (at the institution and profession levels).
