Gaining
hands-on, practical experience in the work world as a supplement
and complement to gaining formal education can prepare one
more fully for a career. In addition, many employers view
experience as a big plus when hiring new employees. Internships
may lead to permanent jobs! These are three of the reasons
why the College of Business Administration strongly advises
its students to gain practical experience via active involvement
in student clubs, community volunteer activities, and/or internships/part-time
jobs.
INTERNSHIPS
An internship is one type of career
preparatory experience (or job). During an internship, the
intern usually works on actual projects and observes others
working in the career field. In addition, the intern may be
involved in participating in training seminars and meetings.
Internships vary, but are frequently for one semester or longer.
They may be part-time or full-time, and may or may not be
for credit or pay. To earn credit for an internship, the student
has find an employer willing to sponsor the internship for
credit, the academic department has to approve the internship
for credit as well as provide a faculty sponsor prior to the
internship commencing, and both the student and employer must
meet the academic department’s program activity requirements.
Paperwork must be filed with the College Of Business Administration
Internship Coordinator.
