The field placement is a vital component of our Concurrent Disorders Program at Mohawk College. Mohawk College Concurrent Disorders students are required to complete one field placement in the second 7 weeks of their second semester, following the successful completion of coursework.
Fieldwork in a social service organization provides an opportunity for students to integrate theory with practice. Through experiential teaching and learning, the student develops the ability to apply knowledge to practice situations, to develop competence in practice skills, to consistently model best practices, to enhance their personal and professional strengths and capacities, and to work effectively within the community/service system.
