| Description | Students will examine roles, responsibilities, issues and challenges related to the practicum experience and reflect on their own practice, knowledge, values and skills so that they may take action to meet their own learning and development needs (reflective practice). Critical thinking skills as applied to the theory and practice of CD will be examined. Students will continue to develop their career portfolios, focus on resume writing and discover how to self-brand in order to promote their careers. Researching various agencies where community development is practiced will augment their understanding of the scope of CD practice. In addition, students will have the opportunity to attend a panel presentation of experts (currently practicing in the field of CD or performing CD research) in order to inform their understanding of potential areas of career and employment opportunities. Students will look at occupational and functional mapping to provide a context for their roles and boundaries as practitioners. Course Learning Outcomes
