Internships can provide students with hands-on experience. It also allows students to find their area of interest and network with potential employers.  

Service learning is an educational strategy that combines community service with academic instruction and enhances students’ learning.  

Comment on Francisco Gonzalez's post:   Its important to note that students should be journaling their progress, as to know if the sites are giving them the best experience, and how the sites are doing as a whole.

Comment on Renita Cash's post:  As the students are  engaing in internship activities , its so important to assure the team is allowing them  to be fairly and adequately trained with additional time from upper staff that can assist them and answer any questions to help them succeed.

I believe the most important aspect of the internship process is allowing the student to have opportunities to show their skill and assist them in developing both professionally and personally to be a good canidate for employment.

Students should be able to  see the value of service learning as in comes hand in hand with career development. 

It's important to make sure when evaluating students what their takeaway was from what they've learned. Experiences and application of what they've learned and gained should help determine if the students made an effort. 

Students are able to see the value of service learning as they try to make a direct connection with their career choices, thus reinforcing and building their confidence, as well as helping them discover their personal branding. 

A takeaway from the service learning course I found interesting was how to keep the students engaged in their community. It helps students tie together the impact facilities and hospitals have in the community and how their involvement makes a difference.
