Evaluation
You are evaluated on several requirements, including the completion of a personal SWOT analysis, an employer evaluation, a poster, and a presentation.
Personal SWOT Analysis
You will complete a self analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that they personally face. Reflection on what the self-assessment reveals and what will help/hamper securing one鈥檚 desired job is also required. Gaps can be identified and strategies on how to overcome them should be noted.
Employer Evaluation
Your employer will evaluate the intern at the end of the term based on several criteria including communication skills, productivity, problem solving skills, planning and technical skills.
Poster
The poster represents the practical application of business skills and theory to a problem or issues addressed during the work experience placement. Instead of a paper,
background information, data, analysis, and recommendations/conclusions are presented. The difference between a paper and a poster, is how the information is presented. The poster will be graded on content, quality of analytical thinking, use of relevant data analysis, clarityof expression, and overall presentation
Presentation
As part of the internship, a ten-minute presentation will be given that provides insight into the intern’s experience. The poster will be displayed on a screen and a
presentation will be given from the poster to other individuals, such as: intern students, employers/supervisors, Program Coordinator and Dean.
