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.
