When you take on a new leadership position, there are a number of changes that happen including your relationships with others. Those who were once peers may now be direct reports; others who once held higher positions may now be peers. Having conversations with these individuals to discuss your changing relationship is important. It helps create understanding and set clear expectations for how things will be different.
This course presents six crucial conversations you should have as you make the transition to a leadership position: Friends, Your Team, New Boss, New Peers, Your Former Boss, and Yourself. These conversations help facilitate successful work relationships, and create the foundation for an effective transition from Bud to Boss.
Internships offer usually one discipline-specific, supervised, structured paid or unpaid, and for academic credit work experience or practice placement.
Work Experience intersperses one or two work terms (typically full-time) into an academic program, where work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study and/or career goals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. In practice, students work in partnership with a community-based organization to apply their disciplinary knowledge to a challenge identified by the community.
Field Placement provides students with an intensive part-time/short term intensive hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study. Field placements may not require supervision of a registered or licensed professional and the completed work experience hours are not required for professional certification. Field placements account for work-integrated educational experiences not encompassed by other forms, such as co-op, clinic, practicum, and internship.
