Horticultural Practice
Du etablerar själv kontakt med lämplig praktikplats, som godkänns av kursledaren. Det kan vara ett producerande företag (odling), en visningsträdgård, ett rådgivningsföretag, ett leverantörsföretag eller ett företag som hanterar de färdiga produkterna. Under de nio veckorna av arbetsplatsförlagd praktik studerar du arbetsplatsens verksamhet och organisation samtidigt som du deltar i arbetet.
Hortikulturella praktikkursen utgör ett komplement till dina teoretiska studier, och leder inte sällan till att du får en ingång till arbetsmarknaden.
Information from the course leader
Kursintroduktion äger rum måndagen den 20/1 kl. 13:15-15:00 i "Kapellet", Vegetum
Anvisningar för praktiken
Syftet med praktiken är att studenten ska få praktisk erfarenhet av arbete inom den gröna sektorn och kunna reflektera över och planera vanligt förekommande arbetsuppgifter, samt få en förståelse för och reflektera över hur bakomliggande faktorer påverkar utförandet av praktiskt arbete i företaget. Kursen genomförs genom nio (9) veckors praktik på en arbetsplats, kopplat till skriftliga och muntliga inlämningsuppgifter. Hela praktiken ska genomföras på samma arbetsplats. Praktikplatsen ska vara en riktig arbetsplats, d.v.s. det behöver finnas tillgång till personalutrymmen etc. Du ska följa samma arbetstider som övriga anställda på arbetsplatsen, och ansvarar själv för att praktikperioden blir nio veckor. Då kursperioden är 10 veckor finns det utrymme för en veckas skrivarbete/förberedelse av presentation (under sommarperiodens 12 veckor finns även utrymme för två veckors semester). Du bestämmer själv när under perioden du gör detta.
Genomförande
Inför praktiken
Kontakta gärna kursansvarig en tid före kursstart för att diskutera val av lämplig praktikplats. Fyll i uppgifter om praktikplatsen på avsedd blankett (finns på kursens Canvas-sida) och skicka in till kursansvarig. Detta kan göras i samband med kursintroduktionen. Lämna in en tidsplan på praktikens nio veckor, där det klart och tydligt framgår när den börjar och slutar samt eventuella avbrott för semester etc. Skriv gärna också när olika moment inom företaget kommer att utföras under praktikperioden om det är möjligt och dina förväntade arbetsuppgifter. Observera att första dagen på kursen är det obligatorisk kursintroduktion på Alnarp. Det är ingen självregistrering på Hortikulturella praktikkursen, utan kursansvarig registrerar de studenter som ska gå kursen.

Content
Preparation for the practical work placement is done by the student by directly establishing contact with a possible workplace in Sweden or abroad. The course leader must approve the workplace. The course consists of practical work in an actual workplace for around nine (9) weeks where the student takes part in the work and gains a deeper knowledge of how the work is planned and carried out. During the work placement the student learns about the working environment, organisation, leadership, technical aids, customers and suppliers. The course also includes planning and organising a study visit to the work place for the contact person from SLU. A selection of the literature relating to the work placement business and an annual plan for the workplace must be reported orally and in writing.
Attendance at the work place and seminars are mandatory.
