WORK STUDY AGREEMENT: This is the paperwork that protects you during your Internship.  It also protects Denver Public Schools and the Businesses that you are completing your internship for. These are due by the end of your first week of the Internship.  You must either bring them to my classroom or scan them.  Due to the nature of the paperwork, taking a picture is not acceptable. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7Ry6jgmok2qN2JFeV9SSVUybTQ

WORK STUDY IS COMPLETED EACH SEMESTER, EVEN IF YOU ARE RETURNING TO THE SAME JOB SITE. 

TIMESHEETS: Monthly you are required to complete your timesheet.  There is a grade attached to your timesheet.  If your timesheet falls below 40 hours at the end of the month you MUST contact me.  Because we'll need to create a plan for how your hours will be made up.  Anything less than 100 hours per semester without documentation will be referred to the Counselor of your school and the Assistant Principal for planning.  It's a big deal. Timesheets


MIDTERM AND FINAL EVALUATIONS: At the middle and the end of your Internship you will receive an evaluation from  your Site Supervisor.  The evaluations are identical so you are able to track your progress.  On the syllabus you will see the dates the evaluations go out.  Please make time to meet with your Supervisor to discuss any opportunities for growth and for ways to make your internship meaningful.  Midterm and Final Evaluations


APPLICATIONS: The application for the Internship and Parental Form are included here.

Company Organization Structure

Company Organization Assignment:

Please follow the instructions carefully.  Failure to do so will result in the return of your assignment until it is completed correctly. 

Every Business has an Organizational Structure.  It will outline who reports to who and provides a clear and easy format to designate the "chain of command".

This is the Outline for the U.S. Government. 

Please ask your Supervisor for a copy of the business organizational chart.  If one is not available then create a flow chart similar to above.  Only small business firms would not have a flow chart available. 

Email to me, your business or your flow chart you created.  Indicate how you fit in the mix of people. 

Reflect on the following questions:  How is it that you relate to the CEO or Supervisor of the company?  Do they know who you are?  Are they accessible that you could meet them?  If you haven't why not?  

How do your Supervisors relate to the people that work for them.  Do you like their management style and/or would you want to work under that Supervisor?  Why or why not? 

For extra credit:  Conduct a brief interview with the CEO or Supervisor of your Internship site.  What did you learn from them?  25 extra credit points. 

Social Contract

COMMENT BELOW:


Please revisit the Social Contract that was created at the beginning of the Semester.  Write five (5) rules that you feel are important when participating in an Internship.  What advice would you give to Interns who are going out for their first time.

Rate your Organizational Skills

The ability to organize and retrieve information is an important workplace skill.  How would you rate your organizational skills?  Exceptional, good, fair or poor?  Justify your rating.  How can you improve your organizational skills when you're no longer supported by the school staff  (Counselors, Teachers, Internship Coordinators etc)

Transferable Skills

Research Transferable Skills and what they are.  

Define them in an email to me.  Explain what transferable skills you possess and what are some that you could add to make you a well rounded employee.
