The Scalabrini Center, Cape Town, South Africa

Primary job responsibilities;
Consulting with refugee clients, assisting clients with creating CVS and cover letters, providing individual assistance to clients with employment related services, and job searches.

I would rate this experience as excellent and would recommend this site to other students because I learned a lot in a very professional and supportive atmosphere. Given independence, but there was always someone there to help if needed.

I wish this placement had been more relevant to my major. I was supposed to have more health -related responsibilities, but due to outside factors (like being short staffed) I had to work where I was needed.

To future students I would say that you have yo be very clear about what you want to get out of the placement. Also be willing to take on the responsibility for your own learning objectives.
