Students are required to sign up and complete an approved internship experience for academic credit at GCSU. These may be supported by the academic department or may be secured with assistance from GC’s Career Center. The Career Center advises students to begin their internship search at least 4 – 6 months before their desired start date. The Career Center uses Handshake software to promote local, regional, and national internship opportunities to students.
Evaluation Plan and measures: Each department independently assesses their own internships
KPIs: Participation and participation numbers:
Baseline measure (for each KPI): Previous years participation
Current/most recent data (for each KPI): 917 students completed (2023-24)
Goal or targets (for each KPI): Increase & scale internship options; provide internship scholarships
We added a non-credit internship option and plan to work with advising to increase participation in non-credit internships.
Promote the zero-credit option and continue to expand internship opportunities for students.
