Student Placement

Student Placement and Community Partnerships
The SLP works to establish partnerships with non-profit organizations and with the community service sections of corporations within the college service area.

Placement opportunities are available to students enrolled in classes with a community service component, and walk-in students. SLP maintains a searchable database of registered partners.

The program advocates a balanced service learning approach, meeting the needs of community while maintaining an academically rigorous campus environment.

The SLP is able to assist faculty in a variety of ways. Access is offered to the library materials of the program. Assistance is available for curricular design and students placement. SLP personnel can help with grant applications for service learning projects. By arrangement, program representations to classes conduct orientation sessions, attend or fecilitate reflection sessions, and participate in project reviews and evaluations.
