Student Workshops

Strong academic results can take you a long way. And although theory is an important part of your professional development, it’s the skills you learn on the ground that really matter.  

At Pracademics, we want to help you learn how to put theory into practice before you start working in the real world. Our series of student workshops are designed to complement your studies in Criminology, Human Services, Psychology, Social Sciences and Social Work and will teach you the practical skills you’ll use on a daily basis once in the field. 

Our interactive, small group focus offers an opportunity to learn and practice your responses to real-world scenarios like: 

• A client wanting to commit suicide 

• Assessments of children who have been sexually abused 

• Conversations with women experiencing abuse from a violent partner 

Workshops are available on demand when numbers permit and are centrally located in Brisbane, close to public transport and parking. To learn more or register your interest, please contact us.
