<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>Internships\/Cooperative Education<\/div>\n“An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), 2011<\/p>\n
Experiential learning is a core value of the Career Center and an integral component of a students’ academic career.\u00a0\u00a0Internships\u00a0connect employers\u00a0with a rich source of innovative, flexible\u00a0and eager talent ready to hit the ground running.\u00a0\u00a0The Career Center\u00a0invites employers to post internships on ramapo.joinhandshake.com<\/a>.\u00a0 We offer the following\u00a0criteria developed by NACE\u00a0to ensure a legitimate and educational experience for our students.<\/p>\n
- \n
- The experience must be an extension of the classroom: a learning experience that provides for applying the knowledge gained in the classroom. It must not be simply to advance the operations of the employer or be the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.<\/li>\n
- The skills or knowledge learned must be transferable to other employment settings.<\/li>\n
- The experience has a defined beginning and end, and a job description with desired qualifications.<\/li>\n
- There are clearly defined learning objectives\/goals related to the professional goals of the student\u2019s academic coursework.<\/li>\n
- There is supervision by a professional with expertise and educational and\/or professional background in the field of the experience.<\/li>\n
- There is routine feedback by the experienced supervisor.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n
- There are resources, equipment, and facilities provided by the host employer that support learning objectives\/goals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Many students earn credit for their internship experience through the Cooperative Education<\/strong> program. This is a 2 or 4-credit course that they register and pay for. They earn those credits for the academic assignments they complete for their faculty advisor as part of the Cooperative Education program.<\/p>\n
In order for an opportunity to be approved as an academic internship, the employer must provide a meaningful work experience related to the student’s major and\/or career objective. The job description must show how the position builds on classroom or academic experience.<\/p>\n
The internship posting should:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Describe in detail what the intern will be doing on a daily basis.<\/li>\n
- Be of a minimum of 240 hours per semester (for 4 credits), or be of a minimum of 120 hours per semester (for 2 credits).<\/li>\n
- Include the training your organization will provide the intern to gain a new skill, advance knowledge or improve work habits.<\/li>\n
- Indicate whether the student will be paid for the work performed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Additionally, the U.S. Dept of Labor, Wage and Hour Division<\/em>, sets the criteria for unpaid internships. Please refer to \u201cFact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under the Fair Labor Standards Act\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
