The Career Center is available to help internship site supervisors before, during, and after internships. Before an internship, the Career Center staff can help employers determine whether the internship is likely to be a good fit for Lawrence students (e.g., whether students are likely to have the training and interest necessary to be successful in your organization). We can also publicize the internship in many ways, including the use of the Internet, e-mail to targeted majors, poster, and other advertising. Employers can take advantage of our on-campus recruiting services, including interviewing on campus and the opportunity to provide information sessions to interested students.
When you decide to hire a Lawrence student as an intern, the Career Center staff is available to help in developing learning objectives and learning agreements. In the rare instance there is a problem during an internship, we can help to mediate any conflict. For non-credit internships, a member of the Career Center staff will act as the supervisor from the Lawrence perspective. This may include scheduled site visits or phone calls to check in on the internship and offer any assistance as needed.
We look forward to working with you regarding internships. A successful internship provides positive outcomes for everyone involved. Should you have any questions regarding this program, please do not hesitate to contact the Career Center.
