Overview

-
In order to qualify as an appropriate placement for a student, the industry partner must be able to outline the duties/project for which the student is responsible. Such duties should include components of decision making and responsibility for specific tasks and should have direct relevance to the principal purposes of the organization. Mere opportunity to observe the activities of the agency, although having value, does not qualify as an appropriate internship experience.
