The internship team begins work with students approximately 6-9 months prior to the start of the internship. Students complete an application and discussion with their internship coordinator to assess their individual goals, learning needs, and learning styles. We facilitate each step of the process with the student and agency to best match the individual goals, needs, and learning styles of the student with the opportunities offered by the

students with an opportunity to apply and connect their classroom knowledge to real-world situations by working with a wide range of client systems in various community settings. The goal of internship education is to provide opportunities for students to learn and demonstrate the social work competencies and behaviors in social work agencies under the supervision of an experienced social worker.

Next, students meet individually with the School of Social Work internship coordinator for their program of study to determine their individual learning needs. In collaboration with the Internship coordinator, the student will identify top preferences for type of internship experiences and the internship coordinator will refer the student to relevant organizations. Before an internship is confirmed, students are typically asked to complete an interview with site personnel and any screening processes required by the site. When identifying potential placements, travel distance from the student\u2019s home community is considered. The primary consideration, however, is the fit between student learning goals and available educational opportunities. The Internship Team makes final decisions about all student placements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-7 kt-pane74_8f508e-de\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">If I work full time, am I able to complete my internship in the evenings or on weekends?&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3\"]{padding-left:10px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading74_bc25c9-e3\">Most internships are available during traditional business hours from Monday through Friday.
