The success of the field internship depends a great deal upon how well you, the student, realize your responsibilities.
Organizations considerate enough to open their doors to student trainees have regular jobs to do.
They must maintain their reputation for professional services. They cannot tolerate inefficiency, irresponsibility or other actions by staff or voluntary personnel that may undermine the confidence of their constituents. By accepting field training, you become part of the organization. Your attitude and behavior reflects the policies and standards of both the organization and Colorado State University. What you gain in personal experience as a professional practitioner depends upon how much you contribute to helping the organization attain its objectives.
