Practical training for a career in immigrant service
This edition presents a course framework built to prepare students for work with immigrant communities. It emphasizes hands‑on learning, field experiences, and applied service, not just theory. The material outlines a structured path from immigration conditions to active service.
This edition frames a twelve‑lecture course that can be shortened if needed, with real‑world work like field visits, debates, and guided research. It also provides suggestions for lectures, readings, and projects to build practical skills and a sense of civic duty.
- A clear course structure: Part One covers immigration conditions and history, laws, and living standards.
- Methods of work: practical training, role play, and field assignments to build readiness for service.
- Experiential learning: field work, investigations, and special features like first aid demonstrations.
- A focus on opportunities for service: professional, volunteer, and organizational roles in immigrant work.
Ideal for students, educators, and professionals planning a path in social work, public policy, or community service related to immigrants.
