Internships | Jobs
The goals that may be achieved through participation in internships are to meet employer needs, student interests and Cascadia Community College program outcomes. The organization with which the student works must ensure that the experience contributes to the student's educational goals. The student, under the supervision of an instructor, is required to determine his/her academic learning goals which will simultaneously fulfill the needs of the organization. These goals are described on an agreement form, which is then signed by the instructor and site supervisor. The student will monitor his/her progress with reports submitted to the instructor, and a mid-point evaluation will be conducted in conjunction with the instructor to improve performance in specified areas. Upon completion of the internship, the site supervisor will submit a final evaluation.
