While Algonquin College PR students can access faculty support throughout their field placements, it’s important to make sure your organization is ready. The best-laid plans really do make for the best field placement experiences – and create the most value for both the placement host and the student. It is worth the extra time at the beginning.

Assess your organizational needs:

• Are there back-burner projects you would like to see completed?

• Is there a big project or peak season where your organization needs extra help?

• Do you have any pre-existing resources or programs that need an update?

• Is there a particular employee who would benefit from extra short-term assistance?

• Do you have a great idea or initiative your organization needs help launching?
