SDS 496R - Applied Apprenticeship in Social Development Studies

This course provides third- and fourth-year Social Development Studies students with an opportunity for an unpaid apprenticeship in an applied setting. The course consists of two components. The apprenticeship component typically requires a commitment of 6-8 hours per week for 10 weeks. The seminar component requires students to meet bi-weekly, as a group, with the course co-ordinator to set learning goals, to discuss rewards and challenges arising from their apprenticeship (including how culture, education, and other aspects of identity may impact their placement) and to present their apprenticeship experiences and outcomes.
