Weekly meetings with the instructor and fellow interns will provide opportunities for discussion and evaluation of the work experience. This internship continues the work focusing more on direct service activities that was started in Fieldwork I. Assessment, planning, and intervention skills will be emphasized as well as activities dealing with advocacy, case management, documentation and recording competencies, with a focus on the information/referral process. Students are expected to have field work placement before class begins. Educational/observational activities will also be credited as part of the internship experience.
