Internship Practicum Field Placement
SPARC, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Autism Resource Center, welcomes West Chester University students who wish to complete Graduate Internship or Practicum requirements or Undergraduate Field Placements.
We are currently seeking students who wish to complete these requirements this summer and those who would like to plan ahead for the Fall 2010 semester.
Interested?
Please take the following steps:
1. Go to SPARC’s website [www.wcupa.edu/SPARC] and read about our mission and services.
2. Weigh the demands of your academic/work schedule against SPARC’S requirements.
· SPARC’s schedule is driven by our clients. We will need you for some morning hours and some late afternoon hours each week. You should consider this as you build your academic schedule.
· Involvement at SPARC is a commitment for the entire semester. In the case of summer, the commitment would be for 3 months starting in May. The number of hours required by your university program will be spread across the semester (excluding holidays), not bunched up in just a few weeks.
· Many practicum, internship and field placement students also choose to do volunteer work in addition to the required hours.
· Anyone working with children in the State of Pennsylvania must obtain the following clearances: TB test, PA Criminal Record Check, PA Child Abuse Clearance, and FBI Fingerprinting. You MUST have copies of these clearances on file at SPARC before starting your experience. (The PA Criminal Record Check and the PA Child Abuse Clearance must be renewed yearly, so please check dates.)
3. Contact SPARC [SPARC@wcupa.edu] or 610-430-5678 to inquire about available opportunities. Please indicate your major, whether you are seeking a Graduate Internship or Practicum Experience or an Undergraduate Field Placement, the particular semester, and the number of hours you need to fulfill. We will need phone and email contact information.
SPARC looks forward to hearing from you!
