For-Credit Internship Program
Learning Contract
1. Application of classroom theory to outside work experiences.
The student will gain an understanding of the relationship between classroom activity, a professional work environment,
and their career goals.
2. Gaining practical work exposure.

business communication skills. Through interaction with, and observation of, professionals of varied backgrounds and
levels of business experience, the student will mature more rapidly and develop the interpersonal skills essential to
building a successful career.

Environment, required competencies, personal style and t, as well as ‘next steps’ in career selection and progression.
