direct client care communication empathy community engagement fundraisingLooking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Wingate University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Learners in this program will be able to translate into practice the knowledge, skills, and values taught in the classroom to a human service setting. They will begin developing a sense of professional identity as they think, feel, and act in accordance with the responsibilities, rights, and values of a human services professional.
Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
- A detailed report including their skill development, personal development, research, insights and recommendations
