How does the internship qualify as an ALE experience?
The Intern2Learn program has been approved as an ALE internship experience. All Intern2Learn students will submit reflection assignments and resumes that are due at the end of both semesters of the internship. These assignments will address the ALE student learning outcomes and the resume will be the additional artifact on Portfolium as required by the ALE initiative. Students should check with their supervisor for specific due dates and details.
Is there a budget incentive for departments to participate in the Intern2Learn program?
Yes, 75% of the Intern2Learn wages are paid from a University account, up to 225 hours/semester. The hiring department pays the remaining 25% of Intern2Learn wages.
Do positions have to be posted on Handshake?
