Students will gain an extraordinary, well-rounded club industry education and experience since they are exposed to a variety of club operations. Clubs are given an advantage since they have the opportunity to have students work in many areas of the club and can move interns from department to department based on club needs. Rotational internships are the most popular choice among students. If time is a factor, you may also consider using the modified rotational program. Positional Internships Positional internship programs are those in which interns hold a specific position at the club in a particular department.
Positional internships are beneficial for both clubs and students.
Students have the advantage of being fully able to learn a specific position, which enables them to have a more in-depth experience because they must take responsibility for a specific job. Training in this type of program is more intense because it is more focused. Disadvantages to positional internship programs are primarily to the students unless a modified program is in place. Students may feel hindered by not being able to experience different areas of the club. This can be done outside the realm of the normal hours for the intern, if necessary.
