More Hours, More Areas, Better Practicum Training….?

This study aims to find the expectations of various stakeholders in the practicum training experience. Students physically undergo the training so that they can experience actual work in their chosen specialization. Industry partners provide the facilities and the “mentors” who will act as “teachers” to these students. Teachers provide the foundational skills in knowledge, technical and values, to prepare them for this course requirement. If there are gaps, in the expectations and implementation, interventions can be undertaken policy and agreements. These stakeholders have different roles to play, provide different inputs, and yet, are expected to have one output, practicum training.
