Internships often lead to many things but students should focus on the present and on getting the most out of their field placement experience. Some field supervisors hire students for paid part-time jobs after they become acquainted with the student and his or her work. Others have definitely hired students for full-time associate jobs upon graduation, but we have never kept tallies. The student and Director make this decision together. However, most students enjoy their placements more if they have more time in the placement.
Some placements have minimum hours requirements.
