RECRUITMENTInternship opportunitiesINTERNSHIPSCurrently, the term “internship” is used to describe various experiences. To establish uniformity in the use andapplication of the term “internship,” the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) recommendsthe following definition:An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in theclassroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships givestudents the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fieldsthey are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.CRITERIA FOR EXPERIENCE DEFINED AS AN INTERNSHIPTo ensure that an experience—whether it is a traditional internship or one conducted remotely or virtuallyis educational, and thus eligible to be considered a legitimate internship by the NACE definition, all the followingcriteria must be met: The experience must be an extension of theclassroom; a learning experience that requiresapplication of the knowledge that is gained in theclassroom. It cannot simply advance the operationsof the employer, or be comprised of duties that aregular employee would routinely perform. The skills or knowledge learned must betransferable to other employment settings. There is supervision by a professional with expertiseand educational and/or professional background inthe field of the experience. There must be routine feedback by the experiencedsupervisor. There are resources, equipment, and facilitiesprovided by the host employer that support learningobjectives and goals. The experience has a defined beginning and end,and a job description with desired qualifications. There are clearly defined learning objectives andgoals related to the professional goals of thestudent’s academic coursework.14UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT OMAHA
