The faculty should evaluate the intern's journal and reflections can help with changes to curriculum to improve the internship experience. 

The supervisor should advise students before they start the internship about their responsibilities. They should also visit interns at the internship site. 

Students should sign a contract that includes their responsibilities. It's important for students to keep a journal of their learning experience and reflections. Students should be evaluated at the end of the internship and provided with feedback.

It's important that students get to work on real assignments that are related to their interests. An internship should be between 10-12 weeks long at least to give students an opportunity to immerse in their internship experience.

Internships add great value to the student's career development path. It'll set them apart from the competition. They can explore different careers by completing internships.

Service Learning provides students with "real world" application of the skills that they're learning in a CTE academic/ shop environment. They can experience growth in interpersonal skills as well as technical skills, so if the goal of education is to help build healthy humans and healthy communities, service learning provides an opportunity for them to be invested in that goal.
