Benefits Of An Internal College Internship With Professor As Practitioner Supervisor: A Two-Year Case Study • John E.

When students receive credit for the work, the professor may serve as the faculty supervisor/coordinator and the professional/practitioner supervisor. This case study outlines one successful program being implemented by a university and the ensuing benefits for the students, professor, dean, and other publics.
Helping Students Find Internships And Jobs: An Outline For A Workshop On Resume Writing, Interviewing And Portfolio Development In Cooperation With Professional Public Relations Practitioners • Terri Lynn Johnson, Indiana University • The importance of internships for public relations students is well established, but obtaining the internship can be competitive and overwhelming. This paper outlines how to establish a workshop to help students develop resumes, interviewing skills, and portfolios with the help of professional public relations practitioners. It supplements the educational program, provides skills needed to obtain internships and jobs in the field, supports a mentoring program for college students and builds the University’s relationship with professionals.
Emotional Intelligence and Employability: Implications for Internship Curriculum • Michael L. Maynard, Temple University • The study correlates Emotional Intelligence dimensions of motivation as well as social and communication skills with feedback from internship hosts on 79 student evaluations on two questions: What gave the intern most trouble? and Would you hire the intern? Chi square analysis supports the hypothesis that interns not lacking in emotional intelligence are more likely to be considered for employment by the internship host than interns who lack emotional intelligence.
