Internships
An internship is an intentional, structured experience where the employer/host and the student intern develop projects and tasks that benefit the organization and help the student meet his or her objectives for learning and skill development.
The main components of an internship include:
- Opportunities to explore career options by completing projects relevant to the organization’s work and being exposed to both an individual department and the organization as a whole
- Application of course learning and development of skills for the workplace
- Supervision by a professional who will guide and direct the intern on tasks and provide regular feedback on performance
