This capstone will discuss the research and development of a document intended for university stakeholders, defined as community partners. A review of academic literature has shown that experiential learning, in the form of internships, can have a positive impact on student learning and job attainment beyond graduation. The promotion of internships can also serve as a catalyst to create and support collaborative relationships between higher education and employers. In the development of this guide, the researchers have completed a qualitative survey of community partners to gather their thoughts and recommendations. A comparison study of similar institutions of higher education was also conducted to assess and identify possible "best practices" as it relates to community partners and internship promotion. This research has been used to develop a capstone project document, to support the creation and promotion of student internships at Morehead State University.
