Description
In the fall semester of their senior year, students complete a personal assessment plan, and develop strategies on how to further their development as prospective managers and leaders. After refelecting on development goals, they then complete an action plan for their internship experience during the subsequent semester. They also embark on some practical planning by developing network skills, updating their resume and cover letter as well as honing their interviewing skills. They also explore potential internship experiences at sponsoring organizations.
Once they have obtained an internship site, students develop a learning contract outlining their internship learning goals and outcomes, which is signed by the site supervisor, the student, and the academic advisor. Students then spend the second semester on site, fulfilling their internship learning goals.
