Host Organizations and Site Supervisors

An Internship is a Partnership

•  Between the faculty moderator, site supervisor and the student intern. 
•  An internship for credit is a structured, supervised experience that combines academic learning and career exploration in a professional work environment.
•  Students gain hands-on experience, learn new skills, explore a profession, apply and test theories and methods learned in the classroom, and develop a working knowledge of the organization’s structure and operations.

Benefits to your Organization
