How does a student usually go about securing a practicum? Is it, more or less, just like getting a job?
Yes, the process is similar to getting a job, especially with the paid practicums. However, you do have the advantage of a network of professors, students, and alumni who can give ideas and recommendations, and the fact that SIT students are respected all over the world for their high level of ability. The other difference is that the career center has lots of resources for people to find practicum placements- both through a network of organizations and through specific assistance with career development and job-seeking skills, resources and materials (business cards, resumes, etc.
