Internship Program: How the Career Center Assists Departments, Faculty and Staff

The UNT Internship Program assists students in obtaining high-quality internships prior to graduation and works closely with employers to develop internships within their organizations. In some cases, experiential education is known as a co-op or practicum. Regardless of what the experience is called, students gain valuable academic learning outside the classroom. The mission of the program is to develop well-prepared students who, through the benefits of experiential education, become the next generation of leaders for the global community. We feel strongly that when students gain real-world experience in their field of study, they excel academically, as well as professionally. The Career Center can assist with: 

• • Developing internships for your students
  • Creating internship course syllabi
  • Following up on employer leads
  • Working with employers on job descriptions
  • Advising students through the internship process
  • Maintaining internship postings on Handshake
  • Facilitating departmental approvals
  • Troubleshooting issues between students and employers
  • Coordinating evaluations for students and employers
  • Conducting employer site visits
  • Providing internship workshops and class presentations
  • Tracking internship data by major and semester

The Career Center can transfer the existing data faculty and staff already have concerning internships and retroactively add it to the Handshake system so there is a single repository of internship data. This allows faculty and staff the freedom to not worry about storing student information in a secure location while still having access to the data when it’s needed. We look forward to building a strong internship partnership with you and your department!
