Purpose of the Practicum: To help student employees enhance and showcase their skills in the workplace at UMBC.
HOW can you help? Please spread the word to ALL student employees about this opportunity and encourage them to sign up by March 5, 2018. If you would like a team member to present the PRAC to your student staff, please let me know.
Background on PRAC 102
As you know, making connections between campus jobs and both academic lives and future careers is really about seeing transferable skills. Through this practicum, students will not only make those connections but learn how to articulate those connections to help them in resume writing and interviewing for jobs. Students will also attend and reflect on workshops that help them develop skills they are using on the job now and in the future. This zero credit course will appear on their academic transcript.
For more information about the practicum and to obtain the Syllabus, click here.
Supervisor endorsement will be requested for students interested in enrolling.
