Through a variety of exercises and activities in an effective workbook format, this book assists student interns in developing a better sense of self in relation to their career readiness and helps them to identify career paths in the human services field. It goes on to support them in developing the soft skills necessary to navigate professional careers and gives guidance on how to secure undergraduate internships in the human services field.
