Professional Capstone and Practicum

Introduction

The professional capstone and practicum components of your program are designed to help you apply what you’ve learned to real-world environments. Both components are designed so that you will gain experience in industry settings while developing relationships with practice-based supervisors and mentors.

Professional Capstone and Practicum

A capstone project is a final project that you complete in your practicum. The purpose of this project is to show how your learning has evolved, as well as provide an opportunity for you to go above and beyond what was expected from you.

A practicum can be any type of service-learning activity (e.g., volunteering at an organization or agency), but it has two main components: 1) reflection on professional development goals and outcomes; 2) application/application demonstration/demonstration

What does your capstone project involve?

The capstone project is a project that you design to meet your professional goals. It should be in your field of study and it should be something you can complete within the time frame of the program.

What happens during the practicum?

If you’re taking the Capstone Practicum course at [college name], the first part of your practicum experience will be to work on your capstone project. This class is all about building skills and abilities in critical thinking, analysis, and problem solving that are necessary for success in business or other careers.

Your second step is to begin working on your final paper—a written summary of what you learned during this course; it also counts toward earning college credit for completion! Your third step is completing a final project based on one of these topics: Finance & Economics; Marketing & Advertising; Human Resources Management (HRM); Legal Studies/Law School Preparation Skills

When do I start working on my capstone and practicum?

• You will be given a list of topics to choose from. They may also have different requirements for your capstone and practicum, as well as other details about how long it should take to complete them (for example, how many hours per week).

• You’ll have a deadline date when you need to make decisions on which topics you want to work on first and then finish up by the end of the semester/year; this is usually around two weeks before classes start up again after winter break ends (or spring break ends).

• Your professor will also give us an assignment due date that coincides with our final exam period at school—which means we’ll have less than three weeks left until we submit our final work in order for it count towards our grade!

Takeaway:

• The main takeaway is that you should use your capstone and practicum to help you refine your skills, reflect on the work you’ve done so far, and prepare for future opportunities.
