Hey student,

So you are ready to apply for practicum! Congratulations on getting this far. We have created this page to try and make this challenging time easier for you. We also hope this page will answer any questions you may have and help you decide whether completing a practicum at Work in Progress is right for you.

* Now Hiring for September 2024. We are unable to accommodate May 2024 students.

Application Information

Application Requirements

A practicum application for Work in Progress should include a WiP-specific cover letter and a resume. If you have submitted a resume but not a cover letter, please send both the cover letter and resume together in a single updated email. Applications should be sent to info@workinprogressto.ca

Application Deadline

All applications should be in by February 1st at the latest. We will be reviewing applications as they come in so earlier applications may receive interview offers earlier.

Interviews

We hope to hold interviews during the first two weeks of February. For those who progress through the application process there will be 1-2 interviews before decisions are made. Due to limited interview slots, we will only be able to directly respond to applicants who we would like to invite to interview with our clinical supervisors.

Offers

Different programs have different requirements and guidelines around practicum site offers. U of T offer recipients will be notified on April 5, 2024 as per U of T policy. Offer recipients from Yorkville and other programs will likely be notified in late February/ Early March.

About our Practicum

At Work in Progress we are committed to ongoing teaching, learning and unlearning. As part of this commitment we accept between 2-4 students in 8 month intervals. We are an approved site by UofT, OISE and Yorkville Universities and meet all CRPO requirements for supervision. Our qualified supervisors support students with weekly 1:1 supervision, conducted either virtually or in-person depending on alignment of schedules. Students are not only welcome but encouraged to participate in team building by joining WIP wide peer supervisions (3 a month), supporting one another's growth, resource sharing, and consulting with other therapists on the team.
