Each student will be required to visit/interview with practicum sites as part of selecting a proper placement. It is strongly encouraged that students visit multiple agencies because finding the right placement is vital for timely completion and a pleasant experience. Once students have visited the potential agencies, each student is to write a brief “reaction” paper about their experience during the interview and their feelings about completing a placement with that specific agency. This should be completed for all interviews/agencies visited.
The paper should include the following components: a brief description of the agency’s purpose and mission, programs, and client eligibility standards, and what will your role be within the agency. Additionally, students will also include a thank you letter to the interviewer (must be sent two days after the interview and a copy made for your practicum packet), as well as an acceptance or decline letter addressed to interviewed agencies. If you interviewed, and the agency offered you a placement, AND you accepted on the spot, you would just have a combined thank you/acceptance letter.
