Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Franklin University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over 6 weeks, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Learners in this program will be provided a culminating, integrative experience for Psychology and Social Science majors. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate their mastery of learning outcomes associated with the major. Learners will self-select a practicum experience that can be completed within the duration of the course that will provide evidence of their subject matter learning, as well as provide a benefit to themselves and a participating organization.
