This is the second level of field placement in the Child and Youth Care program. Competencies comply with CYC standards and guidelines as established by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and by the CYC professional community. Emphasis is on the integration of theory and practical experience and the development of the student as a professional Child and Youth Care practitioner.
The fieldwork and seminar format enables students to gain self-confidence in their abilities, become aware of their motivations and share their problems, anxieties and feelings. This class also assists the students with understanding the broader social context involved in an individual child`s life (i.e. family, peers and community). The holistic approach is emphasized as students learn to become competent workers in this profession.
