experience in real organizational settings before they graduate. Students will practice and expand upon their knowledge

and skills learned in the classroom in a substantive work situation. Internships are a great way to learn; and sometimes

earn! Students earn credit and increased marketability for the permanent job search while learning more about a specific

field and applying classroom knowledge in a corporate environment. Companies benefit by saving on recruiting expensesand having the opportunity to evaluate student interns for full-time openings.

The prospective intern, employer, and KUSOM Internship Coordinator will identify and design internship program, while the latter two will facilitate and evaluate the work output of the intern. Internship coordinator will help students identify

internship opportunities, but it is the student’s responsibility to find the internship.

Student Responsibilities

KUSOM’s internship program gives students opportunities and requires them to fulfill responsibilities. They gain

maximize the internship's learning potential.

In addition, as envoys of their school, students must act professionally. This means always being punctual, performing

work effectively and efficiently, and behaving in a way that demonstrates ability and interest in the sponsoring company's

work. Students must realize that their performance reflects on the KUSOM and may affect internship opportunities forfuture students.

The student must approach this experience with maturity and a commitment to excellence, knowing his/ her ethical

KUSOM’s Responsibilities

KUSOM’s responsibility is to assist students in the process of finding suitable internship opportunities and ensure that

students are placed in a safe and stimulating working environment. The school may arrange company presentations and

interviews on campus if required. However, the school does not allocate students to particular internship opportunity. An

internship coordinator will be appointed and this involves assessing and approving students ’ learning contracts and

portfolios as well as appraising all progress review reports. The internship coordinator guides the organization in the

assessment criteria used by the university and is available to give support to students from distance via telephone, fax or e-

mail.




3

KUSOM Internship Coordinator Responsibilities

Schedule a personal visit whenever possible or a telephone conference with the Work Supervisor to review goals

and methods, identify the student's strengths and areas for improvement, and evaluate his/her progress. This meeting

should occur whenever needed but usually is scheduled at least once near the middle of the Internship experience.

Ensure that the internship program satisfies KUSOM’s academic expectations.

Evaluate the student's assignments and the supervisor's evaluation of the student's work performance.

Ensure each intern is assigned suitable faculty for supervision on project undertaken by the intern.

Coordinate with other faculty members to determine student’s work progress on the project and submit the progress

report to the Dean’s Office.

To promote a mutually beneficial relationship, the Intern, KUSOM Internship Coordinator, and Work Supervisor should

maintain close contact throughout the term. If questions or concerns arise, the supervisor is urged to communicate with the

internship coordinator. Such contact is welcomed and appreciated.

Employer Responsibilities

As the most important person the student will contact during his/her internship, the Work Supervisor will make severalimportant decisions during the experience. Consequently, both the Intern and the KUSOM Internship Coordinator must

have a good working relationship with the Work Supervisor.

The Intern will assume both an employee and a student role simultaneously. As an employee, the intern must perform

assigned duties satisfactorily. All company regulations, privacy and confidentiality, health and safety conditions, and legal

requirements apply, and any company policy violations should be handled in the usual way. Also as a KUSOM student, the

intern is subject to all applicable university regulations and KUSOM Participant Code of Conduct.

Though we have tried to minimize employer responsibilities, feedback to the student and to the program itself is an integral

part of the internship. Therefore, required contacts among intern, supervisor, and internship coordinator have been built

into the process.

The supervisor will:

Approve job responsibilities and outcomes, which the intern has developed cooperatively with the InternshipCoordinator and the Work Supervisor.

Develop and assign a specific project work to the internship team or individual intern so that they will have a

specific assignment to work on apart from the regular duties. It can be one or a combination of the following:

A feasibility study

A corporate strategy of an existing firm or organization

A major functional strategy for an existing large firm from the CEO’s viewpoint, i.e., from the whole

company’s viewpoint

A market survey

A system development

An evaluation and redesign of an organization system

A functional plan

A research work

Provide ongoing, informal feedback to the intern about his/her work performance.

Complete a final evaluation of the student's internship using either the organization's own evaluation form or one

that KUSOM provides. The evaluation should include a face-to-face meeting between the Work Supervisor and

the Intern, and a copy of the evaluation form should be sent to the KUSOM Internship Coordinator.

guidelines.

Instructor, Advisor, or Interviewer for a later job.

The summary must be both descriptive and action-centered and not more than a full page in length. The material in the

summary need not necessarily follow the order of the report itself. The emphasis is on facts and results. A helpful way to
