Building Effective Technology Internships: What Community Colleges Can Do to Ensure That Technology Internships Are Effective Learning and Talent Development Tools for Both Students and Employers. Executive Summary
Joy, Lois
Jobs for the Future
Of the studies of internships at two-year colleges, few have focused specifically on IT and engineering technology (ET) programs and the structures that are essential to building effective technology internships. Case studies at two Florida community colleges enabled the exploration of internship structure, student participation by demographics, and correlations between internship structures and outcomes. The research filled gaps in what is known about how internships should be structured to best support student participation and learning and to broaden student participation and employer engagement. The findings offer details about how internships are structured, who participates in credit-bearing technology internships, and the impact of internships on student learning and career exploration and employer engagement strategies.
