Field Placement

Field placement refers to the practical experience component of a professional training program, where students work directly in real-world settings related to their field of study. It allows learners to apply theoretical knowledge in actual practice, develop skills, and observe professional environment dynamics under supervision. For example, social work students may work in community agencies, while nursing students gain hands-on clinical experience in hospitals. This immersive experience bridges classroom learning with professional work, enhancing competency and confidence before entering the workforce.
