Internship/Sce Site Lists As of Fall 2012 Scr 10/29/12

INTERNSHIP/SCE SITE LISTS AS OF FALL 2012 SCR 10/29/12

IMPORTANT NOTES TO BE READ BEFORE CHECKING THE LISTS

This file contains several sections: Approved internship/SCE sites; SCE/school sites, plus employers and prospective internship sites. Some overlap exists between lists if searching for an internship Website address. Students should also check the additional URLs listed under the useful Website links.

The lists are subject to change and may not be complete or up to date at any given time. In particular, names of site supervisors change periodically. Upon approaching an individual site students should immediately establish whether or not the site will accept students from the WHP program. WHP majors should note that several of the EXS sites are not appropriate for WHP students unless the EXS focus has been completed. Check first with the WHP Program Director about site suitability.

In addition, students are encouraged to demonstrate initiative to find new sites and then to ask the Program Director if a site is appropriate. In the event of finding a new site, a legal agreement is required between the site and the University. Allow several weeks/months for this to be done before planning the start of an internship.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN PREPARING FOR AN INTERNSHIP

The course syllabi for WHP 401 and WHP 402 should be reviewed to follow correct procedures for the internship and senior culminating experience project. At all times students should act in a professional manner when communicating with potential internship sites. Securing an internship is a dress rehearsal for securing a job/career placement. Therefore, proper business attire should be worn, whether making a “cold call” to an internship site or when interviewing.

An application for an internship is to be treated in the same manner as a formal job application. In particular, all appropriate codes of conduct apply, ranging from telephone manner, written communication, through to wearing of appropriate business attire during interviews. Note that casual or informal attire is unacceptable at an interview. Students should be prepared for rigorous questioning at interviews and note that some companies actually do panel interviews where multiple individuals will ask questions of the prospective intern. Be prepared for in-depth questions related to all aspects of the WHP curriculum as well as the specific skills learned in the program that apply to any particular internship.
