Internship Project
Each student must complete a project during the internship experience. This project must reflect the student intern's goals, interests, and area of exploration and should be presented to at least the certified staff sponsor and the business sponsor.
Examples of Suggested Projects
Depending on the goals, interests, and area of career exploration, interns may choose to do one of the following:
- Make a model of something seen, explored, read about, discussed, or researched while doing the internship.
- Research and carry out an idea relative to adding to or subtracting from an established phenomenon.
- Research an idea, fact, or concept that relates to your internship work.
- Plan and complete a real project that a fellow employee might have done.
Written Project Requirements
If the project is a written report, the documentation must:
- Be word-processed using no larger than 12-point font and standard margins (1-inch top, bottom and sides).
- Be about five pages not including title page, table of contents, charts, graphs, or bibliography.
- Include a bibliography of resources and sources.
- Cite all work. The written project documentation must follow the standard guidelines for English class research papers.
Project Approval
Write up a brief project plan outlining the purpose and details about the project. Have this project plan approved by your business sponsor and certified staff sponsor before starting on the project.
