| Initiative Title | To hire a full-time S&C employee to provide support for internships and community outreach |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The following has been replicated in a large part from an identical request submitted by the Business Department:
The Computer Science & Technology Department has an internship course that fulfills coursework in the
curriculum of our AAS Networking degree program. Â This position has resided in the Office of Career and Internship Services in the past and has been grant funded. It is a critical support position for our Department and for our
students. The position of Internship Coordinator is still a very important one for students progressing and in the final stages of their degree program. This position should be institutionalized to continue providing the community outreach in establishing meaningful internship placements for students who need them. This position should also be able to provide support and feedback to students in resume development and the interviewing skills (an area that many of our students have little experience in). When students are planning to enter the workforce, they need this continued support. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Academic Department and students in degree programs needing approved internship
placement will not have the support needed to complete their degree requirements
with organizations who understand the learning objectives of the course/placement.
The college will not be able to foster meaningful relationships with community
businesses that can employ our students. |
|---|
| Department Goals | Attain confidence in our offerings through student learning outcomes, advisory board feedback, alumni and current student feedback, leading to success in our AS degrees transfer-ability and our AAS degrees employability. |
