Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Capilano University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students in this program/course will apply their knowledge and skills in psychology gained through their program of study in work-integrated learning settings with community organizations, under co-supervision of the course instructors and the volunteer or employer supervisor. In the weekly seminar, students will meet regularly to discuss their progress and will produce reports and presentations related to their work-integrated practicum experience.
