Sessional Lecturer, INF401H1 - From Classroom to Workplace
About The Position
While a university is student-centred and explicitly focused on facilitating structured student learning, a workplace is focused on its own strategic goals, stakeholders, and clients. Unstructured employee learning is peripheral to the purpose of the organization. Yet high-achieving professionals are actively engaged in continuous learning throughout their careers. A commitment to reflective practice, and to conscious articulation of career goals and professional identity, are crucial skills for lifelong career learning. While there is an ostensible focus in this course to assist students in preparing to integrate their summer practicum experience with their academic studies, there is also a broader agenda in creating life-long learners who are able to articulate their own distinctive narrative, necessary to proactively grow and manage their careers beyond undergraduate studies. This is the overarching purpose of this course: to create independent, autonomous and self-directed learning professionals. Prerequisites: INF301H1 and INF302H1, or permission from the instructor. Note: Previous course title prior to September 2022 is “Practicum Prep”.
