Intro to Workplace III

Catalog description

This zero-credit course allows students to accept non-paying internships that require College approval. It is intended to be the first step toward the development of skills and attitudes that lead to satisfying careers. Students may take the initiative in finding appropriate work assignments or they may seek internships through the Starr Career Development Center. The SCDC’s Internship Coordinator approves the internship prior to enrollment in the course and supervises the students who reflect on their experiences in journal entries and in workshops organized by the SCDC. The course may be repeated for a maximum of three semesters upon the submission of a satisfactory evaluation from the employer. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis. Students are allowed up to 20 hours a week of work experience depending on their course-load. (During Spring and Fall semesters students taking 12 credits or less may work up to 20 hours per week; if taking 15 credits students may work up to 15 hours per week; if taking 18 or above credits students will not be granted permission to take internship course. During Summer or Winter sessions students may work additional hours if they are not taking classes.)
