Qualifications

Internship Goals &  Outcomes

To successfully and meaningfully complete the internship,  the intern is required to create a list of measurable and attainable goals that they will work to achieve during the course of the internship.  These goals can be used to fulfill educational program requirements and should provide you with confidence to enter the workforce.

Work with both your supervisor and faculty advisor to identify goals in the following areas:

  • Academic learning:  These goals relate to applying knowledge from training or a classroom.
  • Career development:  These goals involve learning duties and qualifications of a career to explore interest in that field.
  • Skill development:  These goals involve building an understanding of industry knowledge and skills.
  • Personal development:  These goals focus on learning skills in such areas as critical thinking and communications or increasing self-esteem and empathy.

The intern will record these goals at the beginning of the internship and revisit the progress of the goals halfway through completing their internship experience.  They should work with their supervisor on discussing their progress and performance throughout the internship to ensure that they are on track to fulfilling their internship goals and receiving any help/support that they need to fulfill said goals.

At the end of the internship,  the student should reflect on their internship goals and meet with their supervisor and faculty mentor to discuss their experience,  skills learned,  challenges they may have faced,  and the overall completion status of their goals.
