Career Tools for Excellence II: Internship               

The Career Tools for Excellence II Internship program is designed for students who have completed Tools I to have an opportunity to utilize their "tools skills" in a workplace environment. It came about through Tools Team discussions a way for students to further hone their skills and become marketable in their field as well as a way to answer the frequent requests from community businesses for interns. The internship adds value to the students' experience as a way for them to showcase their skills, make invaluable contacts, and get paid for their work.  Students spend 64 hours in an internship on campus or in the community and create a personal e-portfolio that showcases their “Tools skills”. 

Faculty work with local businesses and on campus departments to match students with a paid position within their desired profession.  Each student works with his or her supervisor to create an intern project that is the focus of their time at the internship.

Students have gained valuable hands on experience while working as interns.  One former student was hired by the local business where she completed her internship. This web site was recently updated as an intern project done by Tools I & II student Evelyn Rosefield.
