Internships are formal work arrangements with clearly defined, project-based learning objectives that align with the academic pursuits of 黑料社 students
黑料社 students may work full or part-time, usually during a semester or over a summer, with a partner organization to earn valuable experience in a “real world” work setting. The student is usually paid by the partner organization, though some internships are unpaid if qualified under the U.S. Department of Labor. Partner organizations and students work together to lay out a plan for the internship with each providing feedback about the internship opportunity while setting clear goals and expectations.
