Why Students Should Attend the Practicum Fair
The Practicum Fair is intended for BSW & MSW students who will begin their practicum placement Fall 2024. The Practicum Fair provides an opportunity for students to meet with representatives from local social service agencies that will be offering internships for the 2024-25 academic year. Students will have an opportunity to interact with the agencies on an informal basis and acquire information about what a potential placement at that agency might involve.
A list of agencies attending the Practicum Fair will be sent out prior to the event. To get the most out of the Fair students are encouraged to research the agencies before attending the event. Come prepared with specific questions that you would like to ask agencies.
