Stepping Out: New Directions in Internship Programming.
Barnes, Melissa
This paper discusses how the Career Services Office at Allegheny College has shifted its emphasis over the last five years to programming related to internships. Although the office has not stopped providing the career counseling, resume critiques and on-campus interview schedules that are traditionally provided by career services offices, all new programming since 1997 has been related to internships. In the process the department has created and tested several new programs tailored for Allegheny students. One initiative was the formation of the Allegheny College Center for Experiential Learning (ACCEL), a center that combines the Office of Career Services, the Office of Community Service, the International Office and student leadership programming into an umbrella unit housed in one suite and with an overall emphasis on experiential learning. The effect on campus of the creation of ACCEL and the increased emphasis on internships has been substantial. Students have a greater awareness of the importance of taking part in internships and other experiential learning options, and many take advantage of multiple opportunities. (GCP)
