HMSV 2284 — Human Services Internship Preparation 2 Credits
This course prepares students for their capstone internship experience for the Associate of Applied Science in Human Services degree. Students will complete the application process and emerge from the course with a professional resume, effective job interviewing skills, solid understanding of performance expectations, and a time-management and self-care plan. Students will also identify potential placement sites, secure, and complete up to three agency interviews, and complete all necessary paperwork including a criminal background check. A student's ability to secure a placement site by the end of this course is directly related to meeting established eligibility requirements for student and site as well as demonstrating a high level of professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes during agency interviews. Internship invitations are at the discretion of each agency and must be approved by the Human Services Program Director.
