The Florence internship is a student work placement that aims to provide students from all disciplines and majors with the intellectual, professional, and personal skills that will enable them to function well in a culturally diverse working environment in all key job sectors. All internships are supervised by faculty, and all 3 credit internships last a minimum 6 weeks in length and are carried out part time Monday through Wednesday or equivalent. Each student will also complete 3 assessments throughout the internship, namely: keeping a written journal of their experience, completing an industry review, and preparing an internship portfolio. These assessments have been designed to help the student reflect on the skills they are learning and the benefits gained from the internship experience, and to help them determine if their current career goals are the correct fit for them. During the internship, the staff of the Internship Office and a faculty supervisor work closely with each student to ensure that the placement is a successful one. Students’ final grades are based on several factors including, written assignments and a report from their workplace supervisor which is taken into consideration.
