Lehigh University Master in Financial Engineering’s Post

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

Please wish me luck in my newest endeavor! I am almost halfway through writing my new book titled "Internships in the Sport Industry: Real-World Endeavors, Competencies, and Best Practices." This work is inspired by my 15 years of guiding and mentoring University of Cincinnati Sport Administration undergraduate students with their practicum and capstone internship experiences. The book aims to benefit both students and practitioners in the sport industry.

🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🚀 Thrilled to share the fantastic collaboration between my former stomping ground, Accenture UK & Ireland, and my new professional home, Dublin City University! 🤝 As I embark on this new chapter with DCU's Micro-Credentials team, it's heartening to witness the strategic leap forward in our longstanding partnership. The recent Memorandum of Understanding signifies a commitment to deepening collaboration through various initiatives, including joint research, STEM Teacher Internships, WomenOnWalls and more. 🌐 Having spent an incredible 5 years at Accenture Ireland, I've had the privilege of honing my skills and learning from the best in the industry. The shared dedication to university-industry partnership is something I've personally experienced at Accenture, and I am eager to see this commitment flourish in the groundbreaking programs outlined in the MOU.

DCU has meticulously defined eight characteristics that distinguish their Micro-Credentials, ensuring they meet the highest standards. From proposal and descriptor reviews to school and faculty approvals, the process is anchored in quality assurance. As someone deeply involved in this initiative, I am excited about the positive impact it can have on individuals seeking to upskill in a rapidly evolving world. To my former Accenture colleagues, this collaboration opens doors to an exciting array of learning opportunities. Micro-credentials can be a perfect fit for professionals looking to enhance their skill sets or explore new areas of expertise.

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.

Last week, I participated in The Chronicle of Higher Education's event, "The Future of Academic Internships," which delved into the increasing emphasis on internships for higher-education students. The discussion highlighted how colleges are reshaping their services to better connect academic experiences with career outcomes. As this evolution takes shape, what implications arise from colleges extending internship opportunities to all students? The challenges that must be addressed are important in my role on the Practicum team here at Gillings. The presentation shed light on the struggles faced by students who encounter barriers in securing paid internships, often having to compromise their preferred work settings. https://lnkd.in/eXzNKMXt

Learning “how to adult” through internships? 🤓 That’s what our post graduate youth Rexy says! Through his humility, he shares with us how you can learn adult working skills through the aid of his latest internship. University is one key proponent in being prepared, and life skills have to be learnt out there in the real world! 😎 Check out our Rexy story here! https://lnkd.in/gT9sbBtn
