This course provides the student with the opportunity to gain practical work experience under the supervision of a professional in their field in a day-to-day on-site place of employment. The student must complete a minimum of 90 hours at their internship site during the semester. The internship site can be any site that will assist the student in exploring their career path and that can meet the learning outcomes of the course. During the semester the student must participate in hybrid (online and in person) learning modules during which the student will have an opportunity to reflect on their work experience and work with other students to answer questions relevant to their course of study, work experience and career field. The student will complete a final presentation as a culminating project of their experience and submit both a final self-evaluation and an employer evaluation.  View Course Syllabus Adobe Acrobat, PDF
