What an internship is Academic Learning: the student may apply and test knowledge learned in the classroom to a professional work environment.

Career Development: the student may explore a specific field of interest, expand his or her professional network and gain and understanding of

the “real” work of a Social Worker

Skill

the student gains an understanding of the transferable skills and knowledge required for success in a professional work environment

Personal

Development:

the student gains decision-making skills, self-confidence, business savvy, ethics, and

teamwork

required for success in a professional work environment.

Working in Harmony with Social Workers and other professionals

Slide9

What It is not !A Guarantee Job Offer:

YOU

SHOULD VIEW THE INTERSHIP AS A SEMESTER (YEAR LONG) INTERVIEW!

Although

some interns

are offered employment

as a result of contacts they make during their internships, there is no guarantee that an internship will result in a job.

Time to Act Like a Resident Expert

:

Most

students do not have the time, expertise, or knowledge. This is an opportunity to test prior learning in a humble and tactful way.

THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST COMMON COMPLAINT FROM FIELD PLACEMENTS!!

Slide10

A Go-fer Position: A fine balance must be cultivated between ensuring the student has a meaningful learning experience and addressing the completion of more routine work responsibilities involved in all positions and projects.

REMEMBER: OUR HOST AGENCIES ARE NOT–FOR–PROFIT

An

Easy Grade:

A supervisor expects an intern to be a contributing member to the organization,

just like an employee.

Slide11

How to conduct yourself in field! Be a good workerArrive on time

(this means arrive 10 minutes early to be ready to start at your start time)

Slide12

Manage your online reputation Be careful of your social networking sites. EVERYTHING IS DISCOVERABLE!

Everything You Post On Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Snap chat….can Be

Found!!!

There is a reason it is called the

WORLD –WIDE –WEB

Slide13

Your agency is also a business – so you need to look professional

They may not be thrilled with that tattoo you love. Or A green lizard on your head. It could prevent you from getting offered a job. Cover body art with clothes or make up.

Hair should be professional and clean

Piercings – it may vary from agency to agency (in some agencies men are not allowed to have any piercings. Women are only allowed to wear one set of earrings) no facial or mouth

piercings

Slide14

NO BBBNo Low Riding, Grungy Jeans

No Pajamas no

gym shoes - Closed toe

shoes

No revealing/sheer clothing/Spaghetti straps

N

o Boobs, Belly or Butt (men

or women)

Slide15

CLOTHING In most settings business casual is appropriate. Clothes should be clean, and wrinkle free

(this may

mean

ironing

)

If

you need to dress

down your

agency will tell you

.

It’s always better to be told to dress more casually, rather than be told what you are wearing is inappropriate for the profession.

Slide16

Language:No 4 letter-words!!

Remember

to use your “inside voice” when in a professional setting. You do not want to accidently break confidentiality because you are talking too loudly!

Slide17

Don’t do this!!! DON’T HAVE A DUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIENTS (sexual or otherwise)

DON’T HAVE A DRINK AND GO TO YOUR INERNSHIP WITH BEER BREATH (they will notice) This includes all substances, not just beer

Slide18

Not your personal therapistPersonal life: This

is not the place to share all the “Stuff” you have experienced.The therapists you are working with are not

your

therapist.

Get your stuff together!

Slide19

Circumstances which may prompt a recommendation that a student discontinue field education include the following:
