Internship Preparation
This course focuses on skills, planning, and preparation to support students for experiential learning opportunities in diverse settings and disciplines. Students will hone their professional development skills, public speaking, and work-related critical thinking/problem solving skills. In addition, students will explore how to manage challenges at work and apply an ethical lens to work across differences. Students will also get to know other students in similar internships and function as a cohort of students preparing for experiential learning opportunities.
Topics
- Prepare for their experiential learning opportunity through developing a collaborative plan with their site, as well as preparing professional development materials that they will use throughout their experiential learning opportunity (e.g., headshot, LinkedIn, elevator pitch, etc.).
- Identify strategies for navigating professional dynamics, including managing feedback, setting boundaries, addressing conflict, engaging ethically with communities, and seeking mentorship.
- Demonstrate professional communication skills through polished written (e.g., LinkedIn, emails) and oral (e.g., elevator pitch) formats appropriate to diverse professional settings.
