Rhodes Wellness College: A National Leader in Wellness Education and Life Coach Certification

All diploma programs at Rhodes Wellness College contain a practicum component. Practicums provide an opportunity for students to apply their skills in a professional environment, get "real world" feedback, network, find employment and engage in applied career exploration. 

Given the experiential and applied nature of Rhodes Wellness College curriculum, many Practicum Hosts are able to integrate practicum students into their organizations and see immediate positive results. Many students have ultimately been hired by their Practicum Hosts, or alternatively, have had doors opened and contacts made through positive and mutually beneficial practicum placements.

The Career Services department provides resources and assists student in their search for appropriate practicum hosts, although finding and securing a practicum placement is the responsibility of the student.
