Internships attract and keep capable and motivated student employees.
A credit-worthy internship in general business, hotel and restaurant management, health, public safety, marketing, computer technology, nursing, marine science, social work, or a host of other areas is one that brings significant learning to an undergraduate or graduate student majoring in these areas. The internship position must be at a place in your organization that will allow for professional-level experiences and responsibilities. An on-site staff supervisor with training and experience must be identified to serve as a professional trainer and guide for the student intern. There must also be a faculty supervisor either at the student's home campus or selected among local faculty to ensure that the internship experience provides the depth of learning required of a credit-bearing experiential course and to oversee any additional academic assignments required of the student. The student intern is responsible for arranging and meeting with the faculty supervisor.
