placements unless approved by the Field Placement Co-ordinator. Students are expected to attend and remain with the agency, organization or institution agreed upon for the duration of the placement. Your agency will be contacted by the Field Placement Specialist several months before placements start to ask you how many students you will be able to offer a placement to as well as a description of your agency and the placement position. Once this is received and once a student has completed the necessary requirements, they may contact you for the interview. Once approved, students are expected to call or email the contact person to set up an interview. It is their responsibility to come to the interview well prepared bringing a resume, references and a goal sheet with them. Agencies are asked to interview the students as if they were applying for a job in order to ascertain their suitability to the field placement. Agencies may not always end up with the student of their choice but should still get a student whom they have interviewed and feel comfortable offering the placement opportunity to. The agency is always at liberty to not offer a placement position to any of the students interviewed. The College may ask for feedback about any student who is not chosen so that the student can use this as a learning opportunity. All students are asked to prepare themselves by looking at their goals for learning and then researching appropriate agencies. The student is asked to look at not only his/her interests but also areas requiring improvement in terms of professional development or experience. Supports Available
