FYCS 4941 Practicum an Emerging Professional Experience
The FYCS Practicum experience (FYC 4941) takes you outside the classroom. From day one, you're working alongside professionals who depend on your contributions to advance their mission.
You'll sit in on strategy meetings, help tackle real challenges, and watch as theories from your coursework play out in actual decision making. You might be researching policy impacts, developing program materials, assisting with grant writing, or engaging directly with community members, but one thing is certain your work immediately matters.
Learning happens naturally as you navigate office dynamics, understand how organizations really function, and build relationships with both colleagues and the community they serve. You're not just completing assignments; you are part of a team working toward meaningful change in the community. By the end, you'll have gained practical skills, professional connections, and the confidence that comes from knowing your efforts made a genuine impact.
