paul smith vi scammiming it to the work space
The information was very interesting and much needed. I learned to use some of the key words to identify VI scamming jobs. This is so prominent in our workforce and the information was a reminder to be aware of the opportunity for scammers to invade our work space.

The risk of scams is concerning. I recently heard about how common the money handling scams are impacting students from my son (among his school mates).
On the other hand, the value of VI as preparation for a more distributed work environment may make these important opportunities and good experiences.
I feel like you can have the students learn at their own time
The information on potential scams is very important. In fact, a good friend of my, who has her doctorate, was scammed for a full-time job. It ended up costing her more than $7,000, in addition, to the mental toll.
The seven soft skills are important, as well, as being sure to create space, boundaries, and a schedule.
I'm sure there are more opportunities for VI in this past year than ever before. Understanding potential for scams is important.
In the world of COVID I think virtual internships are even more important to get our students some practical experience and provide them more to put on their resume. To avoid scams I think using the school’s career services office to vet the opportunities and distribute them to students and graduates is a good way to mitigate that potential exposure.
Virtual Internships can work in a variety of positions and company. Avoiding scams is going to be very important.
I didn't know these existed until this module. What a productive and inclusive idea.
I was also not aware that this was an option for internships but believe that this could be a viable option for our Business students that are needing to fulfill this as a requirement to graduate. It will be an option that we will be looking into for furture graduates.
I was not aware that virtual internships existed until I saw this education topic. I am in the healthcare field, and the examples provided are more business-related internships. Has anyone had any experience with virtual internships and the healthcare world?
I learned a variety of different things in this module but what I found the most interesting was how to avoid virtual internship scams. The examples that were provided were spot on.
