Our internship program requires students to register for credit. Some students may not be inclined to register for credit if it isn’t needed for their particular degree.
We ask for your support in ensuring that students register. Here are the reasons why:
- When an intern registers for credit through us, part of the class fee covers liability insurance. If the intern causes any damage while on the job, the liability insurance will kick in.
- Interns are required to establish three learning goals at the beginning of the internship. Feedback shows that when interns share their learning goals with their employer, employers can better facilitate student learning.
- Interns who are registered for credit are often more reliable because they are being held accountable by you (the employer) and by us (the college). They are therefore less likely to leave the internship unexpectedly.
