Legal Work Experience 4.0 UNITS

Catalog description

Four units of Legal Work Experience requires 216 hours paid or volunteer per semester. Work Experience/Career Internship provides the opportunity for students to apply skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to related experiences on the job/training site. The aim of the course is to assist students in expanding specific job skills. This creates greater communication with increased understanding between the student/workers, the college, and employers/trainers. First semester students meet with their instructors for a minimum of one hour per week, which are included in the 216-hour requirement. Semester projects that relate to their major and job skills must be completed on the job/training site. Students will meet weekly with the instructor to learn and develop professional cover letter writing skills, preparation of a professional resume, and interview skills. Second, third, and fourth semester students who have completed their first semester with a grade of “C” or higher or "Pass," need only meet with their instructor the first and last week of class. Work experience courses may be taken for a maximum of 4 units per semester. The total work experience units taken by a student may not exceed 14 units.
