▼ A well-educated workforce is critical for the economic development and success of this country (Kazis et al., 2007; Symonds, 2005). Colleges and universities are being challenged to demonstrate effective ways this is contributing to the development of a successful workforce. Although many in academe believe that experiential education is a good thing for students as they make the transition to the world-of-work, there is relatively little research regarding how this benefit the individual student’s development.
Internships, one form of experiential education, have been designated high-impact educational practices by many colleges and universities throughout the United States, because they bestow substantial educational benefits to the students who participate in them (Kuh, 2008; O’Neill, 2010). The study purpose to determine the “value” of credit bearing
internships for college students. This archival study examined data from approximately 27,500 undergraduates from 298 colleges and universities throughout the United States who were surveyed between September and December 2011.

▼ The purpose of this study was to document the factors (i.e., motivation and perceived constraints) and processes (i.e., constraint negotiation) that influence students’ selection of and satisfaction with their internship choice. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach, which included a focus group, a pilot study, and a self-administered questionnaire.
The sample for this study consisted of 92 undergraduate students enrolled in either the Recreation Management degree program at Lock Haven State University or the Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Management degree program at Penn State University’s main campus during spring 2010. The theoretical framework proposed by Hubbard and Mannell (2001) guided this study.
Numerous colleges and universities offer undergraduate programs in Recreation Management that require students to complete an internship as part of their core curriculum. When selected carefully, an internship experience can be highly beneficial to the student. A successful internship provides students with an opportunity to clarify their interests, examine future career possibilities, and apply classroom learning in a practical setting. However, for students to be successful in the internship selection process it is important that they can first identify their internship motivations, perceived constraints, and how they might overcome these constraints.
Results from this study indicate that students were highly motivated to complete their internship in order to graduate, to experience something new, and to improve their problem solving and communication skills. The results also suggested that financial constraints (e.g., the internship does not pay or provide free housing) were major barriers to selecting an internship for many students. Additional constraints identified were not having enough time to select an internship and being concerned that they lacked the necessary skills to be successful while on the internship. Furthermore, updating their resume and living with family and friends during the internship were two popular strategies employed by students as a means to reduce or eliminate constraints.
Suggestions for future research include increasing the sample size thereby being able to examine similarities and differences within the study sample, collecting data from students in other majors who are preparing for their internship placement, and re-visiting interns after the completion of their internship to compare and contrast their choices for pre- and post-internship.

▼ This dissertation investigates the motivations of undergraduate students for joining international internship programmes and their experiences. A public university located in Hong Kong is selected for case study. Focusing on experiential learning, a classical education theory, this dissertation explores the discussions of Dewey (1938), Lewin (1948), Piaget (1970, 1971) and Kolb (1984, 2006, 2014, 2017), who are regarded as the founders of the theory. In particular, this dissertation attempts to review the experiential learning models of Kolb (1984) and Jarvis (1987) and investigate the unique learning experience that students gained from their international internship participations. In line with the calls for internationalisation and the urges for enhancing university graduates’ employability skills in the recent decade, this dissertation seizes a unique opportunity to study the factors that determines students’ internship choices and the impact of international work experiences on enhancing employability skills and intercultural proficiency. Using mixed methods research including survey and semi-structured interviews by the author in Hong Kong, a group of undergraduate students, with or without subsidies granted by a third party, were found highly self-motivated to join international internships. Many participants enjoyed immersing themselves in another culture and work environment, in which they described the work cultures in places outside Hong Kong ‘more humane’, ‘fun’ and ‘less stressful’. Some of them said that they would consider moving to another country for career development in the future. However, the unforeseen challenges faced by the participants had disrupted their affected their willingness to commit and motivation to learn at work. This research concludes and argues that international internships provide opportunity of experiential learning experience and stimulate students’ thoughts about career planning, yet the classic models of experiential learning are insufficient to explain how learning occurs in an international workplace. The learning experiences in real contexts of international workplaces are far more complex and less positive than the situations described by the experiential learning research literature to do. In addition to knowledge transfer and practical skills development, cultural understandings and interactions have been found in the case study that students engaged in more critical self-reflection after travelled and stayed abroad for a while as an intern. On the whole, this research study serves as a resource for further studies on experiential learning, international internships and employability. It indicates that global work experiences not only enhance students’ employability, but also strengthen their adaptation to other cultures.

▼ Internships have been characterized as workplace-based learning opportunities (Stretch and Harp, 1991). As such, they have their roots in the medical and nursing professions where an internship is a formal step in achieving the professional accreditation needed to be hired in these particular occupations. In recent years, internships have become a far more widespread phenomenon to the extent that many employers expect graduate applicants to have held at least one internship, and often more, and are reported to use internships as a way of identifying future employees. The importance of the role of internships in serving to facilitate the transition of young people from educational institutions to places of work is evidenced by the offers from companies and recruitment companies on the Internet for internships in employment disciplines that include marketing, sales, retail, engineering, finance, human resources, and law. Prior research on internships indicates that graduates who have an internship experience have a higher probability of securing employment at a higher salary than those who do not gain this experience. There are others who claim that internships, that are often low-paid or unpaid, are used by companies to displace full-time higher paid, salaried employees and to, thereby, reduce their wage costs. In addition, U.S. survey data indicate that internships are used by companies as a tool to evaluate potential recruits for full-time roles. There are few empirical studies of what takes place within internships and the impact of the experience for the student, existing employees, and the company where the internship takes place. There is also a paucity of prior research on how companies go about designing internships and recruiting student participants. This study makes visible, using an interactional ethnographic approach, how an internship was designed, for what purpose, and how an intern was identified and selected for that position through a process of recruitment. This empirical study was conducted by the CEO of ACME who led the efforts by the company to recruit an intern in which activity he played a central role. The CEO-researcher/researcher-CEO—stepping back from ethnocentrism (Heath & Street, 2008) and emic knowledge of the actions, activity, and events—assembled a corpus of data and re-entered the research archive to conduct an analysis of what transpired between the many actors, how, and in what ways the internship formed and developed, and with what outcomes. Findings from the study challenge prior research findings on recruitment processes, identify social equity factors that influence who has access to internship opportunities, and identify the roles of different actors and how they shaped who may have access to an internship and under what conditions. Finally, this study has demonstrated how the empirical analysis of business processes (e.g., the design of an internship and recruitment of an intern) that uses an interactional ethnographic approach (as opposed to an organization…

▼ Graduating U.S. college students are faced with declining employment
opportunities because of the economic difficulties our nation currently faces. The eroding
job market is a concern for students, but due to globalization there are more opportunities
for international employment. How can students capitalize on these opportunities abroad?
What types of college experiences will prepare students to become competitive in a
global job market? This study was designed to research the outcomes of students who
participated in international
internships to determine if their experience was beneficial in
preparing them or influencing their decision to work in an international setting. This
study is unique in that it measures qualitative data from a small sample of students who
participated in an international internship with the International Cooperative Education Program. This study provides specific details of their experiences from both
questionnaires and interviews. The former interns reported the
internships as life
changing, thus recommending to students the benefits of working and living abroad. The
implications of this study emphasize to both students and educators the importance of
student involvement in international
internships to expand their employment
opportunities. International
internships can facilitate student success by fostering global
competency skills, and increasing a student???s marketability in a career in the U.S. or
abroad.

▼ An international field experience is an important way for social work students to gain knowledge of cultures other than their own. The demand for international social work
internships is increasing. This study surveyed social work programs accredited by the Council on Social Work Education that currently offer international field placements, and in turn, identified best practices for developing international placements. The findings included the number and frequency of international placements, the countries where placements occurred, the model and development of international placements, funding opportunities, and the supervision and monitoring of international placements. Programs were also provided an opportunity to discuss reasons why they chose not to place students internationally.
Quantitative and qualitative data was collected using an online survey tool, Survey Monkey. The survey was sent to 482 accredited schools of social work, with 228 programs responding. Results were compared to a similar study completed in 2002 by Panos, Pettys, Cox, and Jones-Hart. The results from this recent study indicated an increase in programs offering international field placements and an increase in social work programs developing international placements. A lack of relationships with international schools of social work and field sites surfaced as one of the main challenges to developing international placements.
The aim of this study was to provide social work programs interested in developing international placements with resources and best practice methods for developing international field practicum sites. The benefits and challenges to offering international social work placements were identified and sustainable resources for promoting the development of international placements discussed.

▼ This dissertation investigates the motivations of undergraduate students for joining international internship programmes and their experiences. A public university located in Hong Kong is selected for case study. Focusing on experiential learning, a classical education theory, this dissertation explores the discussions of Dewey (1938), Lewin (1948), Piaget (1970, 1971) and Kolb (1984, 2006, 2014, 2017), who are regarded as the founders of the theory.

▼ This study discusses the perceptions of six undergraduate students in a hospitality management program internship, and their supervisors at the internship location, on the leadership skills and competencies achieved during their internship experience. The specific competencies and skills that are analyzed are: communication, interpersonal, financial management, information technology and marketing.
Internships are of particular importance to the hospitality industry because many of the competencies needed by hospitality managers are enhanced by experiential learning. A case study design approach was used to analyze data collected through individual interviews, review of documents, and supervisor evaluations. The majority of the interns found that they gained problem solving, analytical and financial skills, as well as interpersonal skills, such as communication, team-building and employee-centered relations. There were opportunities for technical and marketing skill development, but a gap remains between the depths to which these leadership competencies were achieved compared to the other competencies. All of the interns experienced personal growth at the end of their internship and the majority of the supervisors had a favorable perception of the interns’ leadership skill development. It is recommended that further research be conducted on larger populations across more diverse hospitality management programs.

▼ Exponentially growing in popularity throughout the United States,
internships exist as a strategic element of proactive career development for university students and employers alike. Beyond the short term value that interns generate for organizations during their
internships, interns represent longterm potential for the organization’s fulltime workforce and future leadership. As a step toward understanding what factors facilitate enduring post-internship organizational identification, this thesis seeks to identify individual antecedents that predict this construct. Data was collected from 351 university students who participated in summer internship programs. Stepanalysis revealed a significant, positive relationship between post-internship organizational identification and perceptions of supervisory support, coworker support and career opportunities. A discussion of the findings offers ways that organizations may augment and sustain organizational identification of interns after the conclusion of contractual relations.

▼ This thesis explored in what ways, and to what extent Ahmet Öğüt’s 'Intern VIP Lounge' (2013) can be considered ‘critical practice.’ 'Intern VIP Lounge' was a VIP lounge at Art Dubai 2013 that was exclusively accessible for interns working at the art fair or the galleries in Dubai. Situated at the heart of an art fair, Öğüt’s artistic installation focused on art world’s intern. The thesis’ three chapters consecutively address the
subject of the intern in relation to the ‘precariat’ and context of the precarious condition; the installation as a space of ‘unconcealment’ making visible the ‘natural order of things’ as structured and structuring structure that works to keep things as they are; and how events that took place within the installation as ‘knowledge exchange space’ appear affirmative of values that work to maintain the precarious condition. As such, it aims to shed light on the complex, critical role of art in times of dissolving boundaries between art and capitalism - considering artists and cultural workers as part of capitalist production, and all subjected to the global precarious condition.

▼ This MA project consists of the implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of intended improvements to the TESOL minor internship program at Brigham Young University (BYU). The majority of changes implemented and evaluated in this study were suggested by Marisa Ontiveros in her 2010 MA thesis, An Evaluation of the Learning Outcomes and Curricular Organization of the Brigham Young University Undergraduate TESOL Internships Course. The present report summarizes relevant literature that led to the current project, including a discussion of the importance of internships in general, information regarding the significance of TESOL internships, and a summary of the BYU TESOL internship program, with descriptions of past studies that have focused on it. Specific curricular changes central to this study are then outlined, which consist of the implementation of new learning outcomes, the alteration of internship prerequisites, the addition and alteration of several course components, and the requirement that international interns participate in internship class sessions. Methods employed to implement and evaluate these changes are also discussed. Evaluation results are summarized, and implications and suggestions for future work are detailed.

▼ This thesis presents two research problems regarding the evaluation of the learning outcomes and the curricular organization of the TESOL minor internship course at Brigham Young University. First, the course learning outcomes have not been revisited after their initial design which demands the need for assessment. Additionally, the current curricular organization of the course does not allow for all learning outcomes to apply to students enrolled in the course, as some of the students do their internships internationally which prevents them from participating in the sessions held locally during their internship. In an effort to find solutions to these two problems, data were gathered from the five main stakeholders of the internship course: university administrators and advisors, TESOL faculty, TESOL program coordinators, TESOL internship providers, and students who have enrolled in the TESOL minor internship course. The analysis of the data collected resulted in recommendations for the change and revision of the current learning outcomes into four new ones and the division of the internship curricular organization into two new components: an internship prep course, and in-service support sessions.

▼ In 2000, Coco (2000) reported that an estimated 75% of undergraduate students had some internship experience when they graduated, and the figure is likely higher today. With the vast majority of students participating in some form of internship, the academy needs to understand what students are experiencing and learning as a result. Companies also benefit from a better understanding of what students experience and learn through
internships. This study employed mixed methods to explore student experiences in
internships, including a survey with both closed- and open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews. The data indicated that internship experiences share a number of characteristics on the surface, but deeper investigation revealed subtle differences that impacted learning outcomes. Inherent student characteristics such as gender, domestic status, and income level can also impact aspects of the internship experience. Five main findings resulted from the study. In general, the workplace represents a conducive learning environment for students to participate in and learn from work tasks. Social interaction played a critical role in learning outcomes, and work environments where students felt comfortable seeking assistance from their supervisor and coworkers resulted in increased learning opportunities. The learning environment at startup companies provides a different set of learning opportunities compared to more traditional established companies; however, this was not the case with the learning environment at all established companies as some shared several characteristics with startups. Students who interned at startups worked on larger projects as opposed to being assigned a series of discrete tasks, which was more common at established companies. Finally, even internship experiences within the same company are unique and depend to some extent on the student, the supervisor, and the team of coworkers. This study contributed to the scholarly literature on
internships by providing insight about the types and characteristics of tasks that student perform in
internships and the skills and knowledge they gain as a result.

▼ College graduates are increasingly encountering inadequate employment outcomes that are not commensurate with their level of formal education, resulting in an underutilized labor force. In tandem with these suboptimal employment outcomes are the increasing costs of a college degree and record levels of student debt. Over the next decade, the number of college graduates is expected to outpace the number of jobs requiring a college degree. This widening gap between educational achievement and occupational attainment beseeches the need for greater clarity on the college-to-career transition. In an effort to bridge this gap by providing a stronger connection between academic theory and practical application, some college degree programs include an experiential learning component, such as an internship. The purpose of this survey design study was to examine the relationship of baccalaureate internships with college graduate employment outcome adequacy. Graduates from a baccalaureate program that required student internships were surveyed to examine the relationship of internship job characteristics, workplace environment characteristics, and select contextual factors on the adequacy of their employment outcomes. A series of logistic regression analyses were performed to test the extent to which the independent variables, both as a set and individually, reliably predicted employment outcome adequacy. Each of the three sets of predictors was tested followed by a test of all predictors together. Examination of a bivariate scatterplot of normalized residuals suggested the need for further analysis; thus, a final test of all predictors with an outlier omitted was completed. Across the five tests, limited support for Task Significance, moderate support for full-time internships, and strong support for Career Development Opportunities individually and Workplace Environment characteristics as a set emerged as statistically significant predictors of employment outcome adequacy. Each one-unit increase in a respondent's impression of their internships' Career Development Opportunities resulted in a more than twentyfold increase in the likelihood of an adequate employment outcome. Similarly, a respondent whose both internships were full-time was more than seven times more likely to be adequately employed than respondents who participated in any part-time internships.

▼ Esta investigação incidiu por um lado, na formação em Serviço Social, após a reforma do ensino superior, o processo de Bolonha, nomeadamente, ao nível dos estágios curriculares e supervisão. Por outro lado, face as alterações vigentes no mundo do trabalho, recaiu nos estágios profissionais/ estágios emprego. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa passou por identificar dimensões do impacto da reforma do ensino superior processo de Bolonha e das políticas de austeridade nos estágios curriculares e nos estágios profissionais/ emprego em serviço social. Pretendeu-se analisar os planos de estudo da licenciatura em serviço social nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) em 2016/2017. Abordou-se o lugar dos estágios nesses planos de estudo, as designações das disciplinas, bem como a respetiva carga horária. Analisaram-se também os diferentes tipos de estágio curricular e como os estágios profissionais e os estágios emprego são expressão da precariedade e das políticas de austeridade. A parte metodológica fundamentou-se numa pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A primeira foi relativa ao processo Bolonha, aos estágios curriculares e supervisão na formação de Serviço Social. Transformação no mundo do trabalho repercussões nas condições de trabalho e a criação de estágios profissionais e estágios emprego. Recorreu-se também a uma pesquisa documental: com base no levantamento dos planos curriculares dos 17 cursos presentes. Quanto aos estágios profissionais, procedeu-se ao levantamento legislativo, associada a esta política ativa de emprego, à identificação dos regulamentos subjacentes aos estágios profissionais/ emprego, aos relatórios anuais do IEFP. Dos resultados da investigação constata-se que a grande maioria da IES tem mais estágios, com diversas designações nas disciplinas, do que disciplinas teóricas. Denota-se uma carga horária maior nos estágios curriculares supervisionados. Deste modo, visa-se a valorização da componente estágio em detrimento da componente teórica. Referente aos estágios profissionais/ emprego, observou-se que as diversas alterações na legislação dos mesmos trouxeram um menor número de estagiários. Face à mudança da medida para estágios emprego o tempo de estágio foi reduzido. / This research was on the one hand based on Social Welfare Training, in the aftermath of the Higher Education reform, the Bologna Process, namely at the level of the graduate traineeships and supervision. On the other hand, because of the changes that have taken place in the employment market, it relapsed on professional/work internships. The main objective of this research ranged from identifying what impact the reform of the Higher Education, with the Bologna Process and the austerity policies in the social welfare graduate traineeships and professional/work internships had. The aim was to analyse the study plans of the Bachelor Degree in Social Welfare in the Higher Education Institutions «Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES)» in 2016/2017. The placement of these traineeships was analysed in these study plans, also the names…

▼ With the internationalization affects many Taiwanese choose to China to work. But some people get back less than two years because they cannot adapt to the local working patterns and lifestyle. So adaptions become the main factor to stay in the China to work.
The major purpose of this study is to understand the influence of Taiwanese studentâs culture chock and cross-culture adjustment who work in Beijing enterprises as an intern. Through qualitative research methods, the researcher interviewed six students, who joined 2013 Yushan Program. To figure out the purpose of their participation in the internship program and overall adaption circumstances impact on the future willingness to work in China. The research conclusions and recommendations can provide student who want to work in China prepare in advance.

▼ Na situação económica atual, o assunto dos estágios e da mobilidade é extremamente
pertinente e crítico: hoje em dia, uma alta percentagem de jovens participa em programas de
estágios curriculares ou não curriculares, assim como em períodos de aprendizagens ligados a
cursos do ensino vocacional.
A maioria dos estágios são financiados por fundos públicos e não diretamente pelas
empresas de acolhimento: por exemplo, a nível comunitário a Comissão Europeia promove
desde 2014 estágios Traineeship ao abrigo do programa Erasmus+.
Estágios e aprendizagens são uma maneira para os jovens entrarem no mercado de
trabalho e melhorarem o seu CV, e podem ser oportunidades para obterem uma experiência
internacional e aperfeiçoar o conhecimento de uma língua estrangeira
Não obstante estas claras tendências, a literatura da GRH ainda não oferece muitos
estudos na área e, ao mesmo tempo, a legislação nacional e europeia até agora não conseguiu
tratar da matéria de forma satisfatória.
É neste contexto que se desenvolve o presente Projeto, a atenção do qual é dirigida aos
estagiários internacionais, os quais encontram uma série de problemáticas específicas, como o
choque cultural, a barreira linguística e a vida longe da família e do País de origem, entre outros.
A organização objeto de estudo foi a Intern Europe Ltd, uma intermediary placement
organisation que ajuda jovens estrangeiros a encontrar estágios e aprendizagens em
organizações locais e os acompanha ao longo da experiência.
O trabalho conjuga uma revisão da literatura da área, o estudo observacional da
organização de acolhimento, e uma parte prática, que consta da criação e implementação de
novas técnicas e ferramentas de suporte a estagiários internacionais.
A questão de pesquisa que orienta este estágio foi: como melhorar a preparação, gestão e
o suporte aos estagiários e aprendizes em contexto de mobilidade internacional, no âmbito de
uma organização intermediária?

▼ Internships are an important part of undergraduate education, with more than 61% of students completing an internship, yet there is not much academic literature surrounding this topic (NACE, 2015). Using Weick’s (1995) sensemaking theory, report data was analyzed thematically looking at how interns made sense of their experiences and what they found to be meaningful. This study found four distinct themes that interns used to navigate unique tensions and power dynamics within their organizational setting: “Just an intern,” “It’s up to me,” “For my future,” and “I was allowed.” Future research could explore framing
internships more as a career choice rather than a precursor or stepping stone into a future career.

▼ This study describes the experiences of college-age students (18–24 years)
engaged in multiple high-impact practices simultaneously in an internship experience in
Washington, DC, and in a service-learning experience. They reflected weekly on their
experiences and wrote three culminating articulated learning statements focused on their
academic, civic, and personal learning. The journals were analyzed via an interpretative
phenomenological approach. Key findings were as follows: (a) reflection on personal
growth helped the students to find clarity with career aspirations, (b) confidence was
gained as a result of engaging in high-impact practices, (c) participants demonstrated
heightened levels of self-awareness as a result of their experiences, (d) reflections shared
by participants validated some core curriculum courses (e.g., writing-intensive courses,
public speaking courses, and political science), (e) lifelong learning was addressed by
some participants but could be a continued focus to address, (f) students engage in
service-learning increased their understanding of social issues, (g) students who had
internship and service-learning experiences that had overlapping social issues provided
deep reflections, (h) learning occurred when students interacted with people different
from themselves, (i) students should continue to engage in experiential learning practices
as part of the core curriculum, and (j) students consistently learned through observation
and experience across the three categories of personal, academic, and civic learning.
Recommendations for practice focused on how to apply the Describe, Examine, and
Article Learning (DEAL) model of critical reflection and how to prepare and structure
reflection for participants in these programs. It was concluded that the addition of service-learning to the internship created additional learning opportunities. Understanding learning styles could benefit program coordinators of service site placements. Recommendations for future research included the following: (a) content analysis of program and reflection materials between the Public Policy Internship Program and Natural Resources Policy Internship Programs, (b) individual case studies of students whose internship and service-learning experiences were in alignment, (c) longitudinal study of past participants, (d) scoring of reflections using the critical thinking rubric developed by Ash and Clayton, and (e) application of the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale or Kolb’s learning style inventory to create additional avenues for research.

▼ Farm
internships offer inexperienced women and men an opportunity to acquire farm skills and learn sustainable farm practices by laboring with a farmer. Little however, is known about how farm
internships meet these objectives and therefore a better understanding is needed of how this practice functions as both a learning and labor process, the meaning assigned to the experience by farm interns. This thesis explores themes associated with the structure of farm
internships and the value of the experience from the perspective of women and men who interned on farms in Pennsylvania and the Northeast region of the US. The three exchanges primary to the structure of farm
internships investigated in this study were the labor, learning and social exchanges. It specifically addresses the ways in which social exchanges organized the farm internship and the meaning interns assigned to the experience. The value of farm
internships was assessed by focusing on the motivations and perceived benefits assigned to the practice by farm interns. The demographic characteristics of farm interns are presented, which is one of the first attempts to profile this population. In addition, this thesis explored whether farm
internships establish socially responsible practices on sustainable farms.
Both qualitative and quantitate data were utilized to collect data for the purposes of studying farm
internships. An understanding of agrarian political economy guided the theoretical approach to how the farm internship is structured; Weber’s conceptualization of substantive rationality is used to investigate the subjective perspective of interns’ participation in the structure. Results indicated that training during farm
internships focuses on the intern’s ability to learn from their labor, with minimal instruction provided by farm mentors. Farm tasks were substituted as a learning tool according to a farm’s labor demands during the farm internship. Consequently, farm interns received the most instruction on topics that involved manual labor on farms. Farm interns were compensated during the internship with food and a small stipend. Farms in rural areas provided housing as remuneration; the conditions of such housing arrangements varied widely among participants. Resources identified by participants as instrumental in allowing them to take a salary sacrifice were a college education and support from family members. The informal nature of farm
internships makes the social context of such arrangements important. Three different types of relationships between farm interns and farmers are identified that influence the structure and experience of farm
internships. This typology includes the farm intern treated as a member of the family, the farm intern learning beside a farm manager, and a farmer who supervises farm interns in more managerial capacity.
The meaning that participants assign to their experiences focused on social and individual values unrelated to capital returns. Working and learning on farms provided participants the opportunity to live…

▼ A Supervisão da Especialização em Psicomotricidade Relacional do Centro Internacional de Análise Relacional - “Ciar”- configura-se como uma transmissão de saber que ocorre pela relação supervisor – supervisionando. Esta oportuniza emergir e ganhar forma, perceber e elaborar o desconhecido, num campo permeado pela subjetividade, além de dar sentido ao trabalho do aluno. Contudo, por não possuir um campo teórico suficiente para explicitar sua metodologia e funcionamento, a Supervisão em Psicomotricidade Relacional denota a falta de premissas comuns aos supervisores e isso dificulta a orientação destes, pela ausência de sistematização de métodos e ensinamentos utilizados. Objetivando diminuir essa lacuna, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória, visando caracterizar o funcionamento da Supervisão em Psicomotricidade Relacional na visão dos alunos que finalizaram os Estágios I, II e III. A amostra é composta por 20 sujeitos e a pesquisa configurou-se como não aleatória. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas gravadas e transcritas na íntegra e os dados obtidos foram tratados através de análises qualitativa (i.e., de conteúdo) e quantitativa (i.e., frequências e porcentagens). A análise de conteúdo realizada levou à identificação de cinco temas que comportam a totalidade da informação categorizada a partir do discurso dos sujeitos. Os resultados desta investigação indicam que 19,6% do volume de dados encontram-se na Caracterização da Supervisão e 30.0% na categoria Vivência da Supervisão; já a categoria Avaliação do Processo de Supervisão obteve 31.7% do volume de informações; a categoria Avaliação dos Aspectos Organizativos da Supervisão concentrou 13.5% de dados e, por fim, a 5.2% do volume de informação encontram-se na categoria Aspectos Passíveis de Melhoria. As conclusões incidem sobre a ideia de que a Supervisão é considerada um espaço de formação e aprendizagem que promove mudanças pessoais e profissionais e que o processo vivenciado na Supervisão é atravessado por sentimentos tanto positivos quanto negativos, além disso, os dados indicam que a Supervisão é marcada sobremaneira pela ação do supervisor; ABSTRACT: Supervision of Specialization in Psychomotricity Relational’s Relational Analysis International Center – “Ciar” is configured as a transmission of knowledge that occurs through the supervisor-supervised relationship, which offers an opportunity to emerge and take shape, develop and realize the unknown in a field permeated by subjectivity, besides giving meaning to the student´s work. However, for not having a theoretical enough to explain its methodology and operation, the Supervision in Relational Psychomotricity underscores the lack of a common set of assumptions to the supervisors and this complicates the task orientation of supervisors by the lack of systematization and teaching methods used. Aiming to reduce this gap, we carried out an exploratory study aimed to characterize the operation of Stage Supervision in Psychomotricity Relational through the reports of students who completed the Stage…

▼ Background: Leadership and management skills are critical to moving the dietetics profession forward; acquisition of those skills begins in the Dietetic Internship (DI). This study examined DI program components related to higher mean scores on the Foodservice and Management domain of the Registration Examination for Dietitians and compared Program Director and Preceptor perceptions of management rotation structure.
Methods: All 242 DI Program Directors (excluding sponsoring institution) received a 47-item electronic questionnaire. Directors provided contact information for up to three DI management rotation primary preceptors. Preceptors received a 35-item electronic questionnaire regarding their perception of interns' management skill development. Analyses included Stepwise regression, Fisher's Exact test, Pearson's correlation, and Chi-squared.
Results: 125 Program Directors (51%) and 63 of 100 preceptors (63%) responded. Greater time spent working with front line staff rather than upper management levels was associated with lower Foodservice and Management domain scores on the RD Examination, but program emphasis/concentration and length of time in management rotations were not related. Directors and Preceptors have similar perceptions of most aspects of management rotations, but they perceive barriers to management experiences differently. More Preceptors than Directors felt sensitive issues like budget and personnel, students' attitude and knowledge base, and inadequate time frame interfered with "appropriate exposure to practical management" (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: Structuring management rotations to spend more time working at upper levels of management and addressing preceptors'perceptions of barriers to meaningful experiences should increase the effectiveness of management skill acquisition and attitudes toward management among interns.

Flexible or Secure Jobs?: Young Workers and Internships in Ireland and Spain.

▼ Over the last decades, European countries have increasingly relied on Active Labor Market Policies (ALMPs) as a mechanism to increase the employability of the unemployed. Following the 2008 economic crisis, ALMPs were increasingly relied on by Ireland and Spain as a strategy to assist and improve unemployed young workers’ integration into the labor market. One notable aspect was the Irish and Spanish government’s development of new ALMP internship programs, ones that relied more extensively on demand led activation through firm work experience or ALMP internships. While the development of these ALMP internship programs was in line with the existing ALMP evaluation literature which asserted higher levels of employer integration yielded higher probabilities for employment (Kluve 2006; Card et al. 2009), none of the evaluation literature considered the role of the employer in shaping ALMP outcomes, nor did it consider other aspects of job quality outcomes beyond earnings.
While adopting a comparative case study design at the sectoral level within five Irish and Spanish ICT firms, this thesis aims to understand how Irish and Spanish ALMP internships facilitate particular job quality outcomes within the Spanish and Irish ICT sectors. Through an examination of the key macro and meso institutions within which these ICT firms are embedded, the research identifies and examines how particular mechanisms may enable or constrain the ICT firms’ behavior surrounding job quality outcomes through ALMP internships. It provides a conceptualization of job quality through the adoption of a flexicurity framework which enables the examination of four job quality dimensions: earnings, working time quality, skills and discretion and prospects and internal progression.
The analysis reveals that in a context of weak macro and meso level institutions, firm features play an increasingly important role in explaining how employers facilitate particular job quality outcomes through ALMP internships within the Spanish and Irish ICT sectors. Within this weak institutional environment, similar patterns were found among the Irish and Spanish MNC subsidiary firms and the Irish and Spanish
domestic firms in relation to how these two groups of firms used ALMP internships. The MNC subsidiary firms were found to primarily use ALMP internships as a flexible supply of labor, one with limited scope for upskilling. In comparison, among the domestic ICT firms, the ALMP internships were more effective, given the reduced hiring risks provided and the access ALMP interns had to a wider range of skill development and work experience, thus providing for upskilling. This thesis highlights how sectoral and firm specific dynamics may influence employer behavior related to job quality outcomes through ALMP internships. In doing so, it also emphasizes the need for further institutional constraints that encourage ‘good’ job quality outcomes among Irish and Spanish firms that recruit through ALMP internships.

▼ According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), career readiness “has been undefined, making it difficult for leaders in higher education, workforce development, and public policy to work together effectively to ensure the career readiness of today’s graduates” (2016, p. 1). Students rate themselves high for each of the career competencies and believe they are ready for the workforce. Employers disagree and state that students need more competency development during college. Exploring the misconceptions and miscommunications about the leadership competency could be a first step in closing the gap for all of the career readiness competencies.
By determining what leadership type best aligns with internship experiences from a college student’s perspective and an employer’s perspective could help in developing more productive and intentional learning opportunities. In this study, I compare the transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and servant leadership types as they relate to the internship experience. I find that students frequently describe leadership experiences using language aligning with transactional and transformational leadership, while mentors use language that does not align with any of the leadership types chosen. As Strong et al. (2013) point out in their encouragement for more leadership-oriented research, “faculty would gain a better understanding of their students and may better understand the leadership experience” (p. 182). As next steps, further research should be completed to see if other leadership types better align with the mentor comments.

▼ Over the last decades, European countries have increasingly relied on Active Labor Market Policies (ALMPs) as a mechanism to increase the employability of the unemployed. Following the 2008 economic crisis, ALMPs were increasingly relied on by Ireland and Spain as a strategy to assist and improve unemployed young workers’ integration into the labor market. One notable aspect was the Irish and Spanish government’s development of new ALMP internship programs, ones that relied more extensively on demand led activation through firm work experience or ALMP internships. While the development of these ALMP internship programs was in line with the existing ALMP evaluation literature which asserted higher levels of employer integration yielded higher probabilities for employment (Kluve 2006; Card et al. 2009), none of the evaluation literature considered the role of the employer in shaping ALMP outcomes, nor did it consider other aspects of job quality outcomes beyond earnings.
While adopting a comparative case study design at the sectoral level within five Irish and Spanish ICT firms, this thesis aims to understand how Irish and Spanish ALMP internships facilitate particular job quality outcomes within the Spanish and Irish ICT sectors. Through an examination of the key macro and meso institutions within which these ICT firms are embedded, the research identifies and examines how particular mechanisms may enable or constrain the ICT firms’ behavior surrounding job quality outcomes through ALMP internships. It provides a conceptualization of job quality through the adoption of a flexicurity framework which enables the examination of four job quality dimensions: earnings, working time quality, skills and discretion and prospects and internal progression.
The analysis reveals that in a context of weak macro and meso level institutions, firm features play an increasingly important role in explaining how employers facilitate particular job quality outcomes through ALMP internships within the Spanish and Irish ICT sectors. Within this weak institutional environment, similar patterns were found among the Irish and Spanish MNC subsidiary firms and the Irish and Spanish
domestic firms in relation to how these two groups of firms used ALMP internships. The MNC subsidiary firms were found to primarily use ALMP internships as a flexible supply of labor, one with limited scope for upskilling. In comparison, among the domestic ICT firms, the ALMP internships were more effective, given the reduced hiring risks provided and the access ALMP interns had to a wider range of skill development and work experience, thus providing for upskilling. This thesis highlights how sectoral and firm specific dynamics may influence employer behavior related to job quality outcomes through ALMP internships. In doing so, it also emphasizes the need for further institutional constraints that encourage ‘good’ job quality outcomes among Irish and Spanish firms that recruit through ALMP internships.

▼ Criminal justice populations represent oppressed groups with which the social work profession has traditionally identified. However, relatively few social workers are currently practicing in this area. This research study compared social
workers with and without educational exposure to and work experience with criminal offenders. It explored the impact of educational exposure on the rate of choosing to practice with criminal offenders. It compared attitudes and experiences in this area
of practice. A mail survey was conducted with 400 social workers belonging to two professional organizations. The survey inquired about educational experiences and attitudes towards internship, employment, and the general field of social work with
offenders. A response rate of 60% was achieved. The respondents were primarily female (78%) and White (82.9%), with a mean age of 48 (SD=10.98). Approximately 50% of the respondents had professional experience working with criminal offenders. Results
indicated that social workers with professional work experience with offenders were more likely to have completed an internship with offenders or to have taken a specific course on offender work than those without offender experience. Respondents who
took an offender course or completed an offender internship reported more years of practice with offenders. Respondents who reported being exposed through coursework or internships felt more prepared to work with offenders; however, they did not report
higher feelings of comfort with this field of practice. While respondents with professional experience with offenders had significantly more positive attitudes toward offender social work than those without such work experience, educational exposure did
not appear to influence this issue. For the most part, attitudes toward internship and employment experiences were not impacted by whether the experience was with or without offenders. Results indicated that social workers practicing with offenders are
exposed to a wide variety of client social problems, ethnic groups, and other social agencies. It is suggested that the social work academy has the potential to have a significant impact on the number of social workers who practice with offenders.
Exposure to offender issues through specific coursework and internships may encourage students and new professionals to consider this area of practice.

▼ The state of the economy has brought changes in the construction industry creating a more competitive employment environment in the construction industry as well as an increase in project requirements due to complexity, duration of work, fewer employees to do the work, and the type of projects being undertaken. These changes have created an increased need for managers to possess both technical skills and also emotional competencies. Employers are now seeking to hire individuals who exhibit emotional competencies and other soft skills, such as empathy, verbal communication and relationship building.
Soft skills improve the development and maintenance of relationships among the diverse group of professionals necessary to complete projects. With the construction industry being nomadic in nature, the ability to develop and maintain relationships can be especially important. Employers are placing more emphasis on these soft skills when evaluating potential hires and starting salaries.
With these changes comes the realization that students seeking to gain employment in the industry need to have a competitive edge. While soft skills are critical for students graduating from construction focused programs, opportunities to learn and enhance these skills are not always available within the curriculum. The majority of students graduating from college programs today are part of a generation referred to as Millennials"a generation differing greatly from those that have come before them.
For Millennials to gain a competitive edge and maximize employment opportunities, they must first have an understanding of what the industry perceives students need to be successful in the industry. Program curriculums must also find a way to produce students that offer more than just technical knowledge to employers. This is not always possible within existing programs trying to meet the demands of accreditation requirements within the credit hours required. One option construction focused programs could consider to incorporate opportunities for students to gain a competitive edge would be through the mandatory participation of a structured internship experience.
This research sought to address these issues and offer insight into what characteristics industry felt were necessary for student success. The work also sought to establish whether students had an understanding of these characteristics and whether they felt they were strong or deficient in these areas. The research also identified the role
internships played in current accredited construction focused programs and whether student participation in
internships had an impact on their understanding of the characteristics required to be successful in the construction industry.

▼ The purpose of the study was to apply the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to examine hotel employers' intentions to offer
internships in Jamaica. Specific objectives of the study were 1) to determine the salient beliefs that motivate hotel employers to offer
internships to hospitality management college students in Jamaica, 2) to examine the relationship among the variables of the TPB in the context of
internships, and 3) to examine the influence of the additional variable, Size (small versus large) on the employers' intentions in the context of
internships. The study involved hotel employers within Jamaica. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using focus group discussions, individual interviews, and a survey. Thirty-one employers participated in the focus group discussions and interviews. The survey was completed by 79 hotel employers. Data were analyzed using content analysis, exploratory factor analysis, multiple regression, and stepwise regression analyses. Study I results indicate that several belief factors influence employers' intention to offer
internships, for example, participation in the development of education, upholding tradition, and enough space for
internships among others. Study II was based on the factors identified. The results reveal that there is a positive and significant relationship between attitude and intention as well as perceived behavioral control and intention. Subjective norms had no significant influence on the employers' intentions to offer
internships. The presence of the additional variable, hotel size, on the employers' intention was also tested. The study revealed that the size of hotels had a significant influence on the employers' intention to offer
internships. Therefore, based on this study's findings, in Jamaica the employers' attitude and their perceived behavioral control are significant factors in their decision to offer
internships, along with the additional variable, hotel size.

▼ An internship component has been a requirement of many
arts administration programs for so long, yet it seems as though
the process for obtaining the best fit for students has yet to be
studied. The purpose of this research is to attain an understanding
of how much The University of Akron Arts Administration students
learned during their internship, specifically professional
competencies and content knowledge in the field of arts
administration. Of additional interest was the satisfaction level
of students upon completion of the internship. This study intends
to fill the gap in research on arts administration
internships and
perhaps create an opportunity for future studies to explore the
internship process in arts administration in greater detail. In
addition, this research intends to be a step in the right direction
to ensure positive internship experiences for all arts
administration students at The University of Akron.

▼ This experimental study explored the effects of a text-message intervention on college sophomore and junior engagement in professional development at San José State University. One goal of the study was to assess whether status quo bias poses a barrier to student preparation for the college-to-work transition. A second goal was to measure the impact of a text-message, behavioral design intervention intended to influence real-time decision-making and overcome status quo bias toward professional development. The treatment intervention had a weak positive, but not significant, effect on student engagement in professional development. Alternative explanations were sought for post-intervention differences in professional development across comparison groups defined by demographics, prior experiences, and perceived and actual control over professional development. Other evidence of status quo bias was revealed in the results that juniors, transfer students, and those with positive pre-intervention perceived control over professional development were significantly more engaged in professional development than their peers. Evidence of capacity barriers to professional development were shown by the results that students working for nondiscretionary income and/or more than 20 hours per week were relatively less engaged than their peers. To prepare all college students for the college-to-work transition, professional development programs must be intentionally designed to overcome status quo bias and barriers to engagement.
