Current Internship Engagement and Readiness in the IU28 Region
Internship Introduction (from PDE Work Based Learning Toolkit) : Internships are career preparation work-based learning experiences in a particular occupational area that assist the student in developing technical competencies while they earn school credit. It is a short-term practical experience, giving the student a broad overview of the career area, and is supervised by an employer and a teacher. These experiences are especially useful when they supplement the technical competencies that the school can deliver by providing access to tools, equipment, facilities, and expertise that generally are not available at the school. The work experience is evaluated by the teachers and employers, with input from the student. Internships differ from cooperative education in Pennsylvania in that a cooperative education program is integrated into a Career and Technical Program of Study with the development of specific technical skills linked to task lists as the goal, offers
employability skills training to the student as part of the school-based program, works under a training plan and agreement, and is supervised by a certified Cooperative Education Supervisor. Students receive wages and school credit for cooperative education experiences (PA Department of Education, 2014, pp. 64-65)
