An internship placement with any of the companies participating in this program will be extremely valuable for your skill and career development. As a Concierge Intern, you will gain valuable, hands-on experience working on projects integral to the operations of the business and develop and hone your professional skills.

签入会议

Interns will attend check-in sessions every other week with the Executive Director of Impact Beloit. On alternating weeks, interns will meet with their alumni mentor. At the check-in sessions, interns will share updates on their projects, challenges, and successes and receive feedback and guidance from faculty/staff, alumni, and peers. Check-ins will help interns reflect on what they’ve learned, learn from alumni and their peers’ experiences, and receive feedback that helps them perform better.

Course credit and compensation for the internship

The default is that interns will be compensated (at a competitive market rate) for the internship but do not receive course credit; however, it is possible that one of the internships will not be for pay. In that case, interns would receive a one-unit course credit for each term.

If you seek course credit, you will register fora PRAX 270 course执行董事和完整的两届ree reflection papers (which you will discuss with your alumni mentor, the Executive Director) over the term for each course credit.
