The National Association of Colleges and Employers says that students with internship are more likely to be male, white students who are not first generation, and students who are not recipients of Pell grants. Northern Essex Community College is working to disrupt this pattern, making internships available to all it community college students, including those in liberal arts. For those who want to learn more about the future of academic internships, the The Chronicle of Higher Education has an interesting webinar on the subject: https://lnkd.in/e_4JXNwT

As a reminder, ETEC has an Internships In Industry (I3) Initiative! This an ETEC-led partnership with schools, students, and companies to bridge the gap between the classroom and experience through internships. Anderson, Knox, and Roane County companies are invited to participate in this innovative program that connects high school juniors and seniors from Oak Ridge High School, Anderson County High School, and Clinton High School; and, college students from Roane State Community College (RSCC) with businesses and manufacturers in short, easy-to-manage internships. The I-3 program is still in its pilot phases. We have completed one semester and are finishing out the second semester. The interns and their host companies have great things to say about their work based learning experiences with our local companies. MS Technology, Inc.'s Intern said, "If I could describe my internship experience in 3 words they would be, educational, enjoyable, and flexible. I would definitely recommend this internship to others, not only have I learned a ton through it, but it has also been really flexible around my schedule. It has been a great experience overall!" There is more room for growth and expansion for this local initiative. Sign up on the website today to support our workforce of the future. https://lnkd.in/e8QvXFGA #ETEC #I-3InternshipsInIndustry #BuildingTNNuclearWorkforce #NuclearWorkforce

I’m so happy that this program exists and many congrats to the recipients. Providing funding for grad students who have found non-paid internships is a great first step to facing the reality of the lack of tenure-track (TT) positions and simply preferring an industry career. However, I’ll always take it one step further. Humanities/social sciences grad students receive among, if not, the lowest PhD stipends at Carolina. Since I’m not in the academic job market, I’m unfamiliar with the available number of TT social science professorships but my hypothesis is they are also low. My question is, how is the UNC Graduate School preparing humanities/social science grad students to find PAID internships? As a Carolina grad student, I took it upon myself to find my internship and create my own path. How can University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill continue to do more and do better for its grad students to truly grow with North Carolina and the South?

Did you know April is #InternshipAwarenessMonth? So often, we think of internships exclusively as a pillar of the college experience; a practical application of knowledge accumulated over four years just before a student is thrust out into the real world. But while college #internships are valuable, of course, this shouldn't be the only stage of education at which they happen. In fact, according to ASA research, 79% of high school students say they’re interested in these opportunities, but only 34% said they knew how to find them — and only 2% have actually completed one. Allowing young people the chance to test and try in #highschool through internships and other #workbasedlearning experiences is crucial to helping them discvoer what they like and don't like, which then allows them to make the most informed decision possible about their path after graduation. One shining example of success is Izzy Fitzgerald, a former Big Picture Learning student whose high school internship led to a dream job at San Diego City Hall. Read Izzy's story below.
