As you will note, many Counties have two listings due to adult felony probation departments being separate from adult non-felony and juvenile agencies. Some agencies are not able to accept interns due to lack of space or personnel and high caseloads. We recommend you contact your desired internship agency well in advance to assure availability and complete all of the necessary paperwork and requirements of that agency.
Agencies expect students to come to their internship ready to learn and actively participate.
Interns are expected to be able to write concisely and accurately. Courses in interview techniques, speech, word processing, and writing skills will greatly enhance your ability not only in the internship, but in your future career in corrections. We wish you well in your internship. We hope you utilize what you have teamed in college and apply this to the reality of working in the field of corrections. Hopefully this combination will provide you with an unique experience.
