In her article, "Should Internships Be a Mandatory Part of the College Curriculum? The Answer is Yes", Ms. Landry states that she believes that every college and university should have at least one internship as a mandatory part of its curriculum. She deems that internships are very helpful both to students and to entrepreneurs, stating that internships are exactly what gets “companies to come here, grow here, invest here and stay here”. Students, on the other hand, receive practical knowledge in their chosen field and set up the contacts they will need for the future. She also cites Susan Brennan, the Managing Director of Bentley University’s Career Services, who suggests students take internships early and often, because they are …show more content…

If students would be required to pay a tuition for a compulsory internship, it could be discouraging for some students, especially for those, who already has a job. There are different ways to solve this problem. Students should not be required to pay a tuition for an unpaid internship. However, an arrangement could be made between the college and the employer to cover any applicable costs of adding an internship.
The LinkedIn page of National Society for Experiential Education contains an interesting discussion about whether the colleges have mandatory internship programs for all their majors.

    In this book, Bauerlein argues that technology as a whole has had the opposite of its intended effect on American youth. According to his argument, young adults in the United States are now entirely focused on relational interactions and, in his view, pointless discussions concerning purely social matters, and have entirely neglected intellectual pursuits that technology should be making much simpler. He calls on various forms of data in order to prove that the decline is very significant and quite real. This book is meant to be a thorough and compelling study on the reality of what technology has caused in the U.S.

    ...f study as an extended learning opportunity. These hands on learning experiences are either paid; meaning compensation is given, or unpaid; meaning the intern is working for free. What Kamenetz leaves out in her article is that some careers require an internship.

    This was done using a peer nomination procedure. I had to nominate up to three of my classmates who fit the description of each of the three emotions. Then, I had to self- report my level of academic motivation. Using a 5-point scale, I had to rate my own academic efficiency and enjoyment. Some of the questions included: “How good at schoolwork are you?” and “How much do you like doing schoolwork?” Finally, it was my teacher’s turn to answer some questions. My teacher had to fill out a teacher report to measure my emotion regulation. Using a 5-point rating scale, emotion regulation was measured in the areas of anger, happiness, and sadness. For example, my teacher rated my ability to regulate anger based on how easily I calm down when helped by others when angry. My teacher was also asked to assess my academic engagement in the classroom. Using a 4-point scale, my teacher rated my efforts and involvement toward academic tasks. My school provided my achievement data in reading and math based on standardized tests used in my school

  • Argumentative Essay: Is College Worth It?

    1181 Words  | 3 Pages

    Colleges offer many different opportunities such as internships, job fairs, and volunteer opportunities these wide variety of courses not only benefits the person in their career decision, but it helps guide them in towards their career goals. Upon graduating from high school, many students do not know what they want to accomplish in their life yet or what career path they want to take. So, being able to experience the many outlets that a college could give students in search of a career, that would better suit their style would benefit them enormously, because instead of wasting time going after a career they would not excel in, they would be able to pursue a career that they are passionate about. Before graduating college, over 80% of college students complete internships, giving them valuable employment experience before entering the job market (“College Education”). Internships offer many benefits: internships may help students to find jobs, be stepping stones that can be directly translated into full-time jobs, create experiences that motivate students to continue along a career path and create realistic expectations about the world of work and help clarify student’s possible career (Knouse and Fontenot 61).

  • Neoliberalism

    In today’s world, students lack experience in their desired field. Neoliberalism places responsibility on the individual for both their successes and failures. Internships have become a necessity in a neoliberalism society because it teaches students that for them to advance in their career, they must gain the skills and experience that internships give them. They require a person to become proactive for them to make the most of their experience. Society has encouraged universities to use internships to allow students to receive academic credit. Deluca and Minkove mentioned that schools “must find ways to make our ‘product’—our students—more valuable, and we must ‘produce’ them in more efficient way (since) the present economic

    The data did not display any difference in linguistic skills. The results concluded that prior to stuttering there was no difference in the children’s articulation rate; however, the children who continued to stutter produced much faster articulatory movements compared to the children who naturally remitted. This reached statistical significance (p = 0.09). The mothers of children, who continued to stutter, also had a much higher language complexity compared to those mothers of natural remission. Prior to the onset of stuttering, both groups of mothers used a nonintervening style of communication with their children. The post-hoc analysis found that the mothers of recovered children stayed consistent with their style of communicating and spoke in smaller sentences with their children. On the other hand, the mothers of children, who continued to stutter, had developed an intervening style of communicating with their children. These mothers placed more pressure on their children to speak fluently by using more turn-exchanges, pausing less, and demanding more information of their children. Thus, Kloth, Kraaimaat, Janssen, and Brutten (1999) concluded that a child may be more likely to stutter depending on if the parents speak to the child in a complex

  • Reflective Essay: Internship And Personal Development

    436 Words  | 1 Pages

    At first, I was very skeptical about the whole concept of an internship. Given the size of Providence, an organization that spans five states and employs over 82,000 people, I felt like a drop of water in a vast ocean. The idea of learning anything in such environment seemed unrealistic, let alone contributing to the organization’s growth. Most of all, I was conflicted by the notion of giving 200 hours of my life away without any sort of monetary compensations. In addition to incurring an implicit and explicit cost during my internship at Providence, after doing calculations I came to a conclusion that I would have made at least $2000 over the course of ten weeks if I were to take a part-time minimum wage job. From the economic feasibility perspective, I was losing money instead of making money. At the time, it seemed a preposterous idea to continue doing what I was doing, but in retrospect, the long-term impact of internship on my future career and personal development is priceless.
