Workplace supervision of interns : roles, responsibilities & effectsCheong Peng, Niouk Ping January 1996 (has links)
Following survey of the literature on the subject of internship, this study reports the findings on a Canadian-wide survey of organizations providing internship to cooperating educational institutions. The findings point clearly to the high degree of importance these organizations attach to internship and the high level of attention and resources that they commit to supervision of interns. They also point to an absence of full understanding of the role of internship and what it can potentially accomplish for both the interns and the participating organizations. In order to fully realize these potentials, the study proposes suggestions to coordinate internship amongst the cooperating institutions as well as interns.

A diamond or stone? Using autoethnography to make sense of my industrial psychology internshipAvraamides, Melanie 16 May 2008 (has links)
‘A diamond or a Stone? Using Autoethnography to Make Sense of My Industrial Psychology Internship’ presents an unconventional qualitative research genre, autoethnography, which is not commonly found in qualitative circles, and is rarely used by South African researchers, or by researchers in the South African social science or industrial psychology spheres. Therefore, due to the unfamiliarity of autoethnography, this thesis is presented in a conventional style, and uses both a realist and confessional tale (Van Maanen, 1988; Sparkes, 2002), which arguably, are the preferred styles amongst local mainstream qualitative researchers. The content of this thesis is presented to the audience of industrial psychologists, industrial psychology interns, industrial psychology internship supervisors, organisations hosting industrial psychology interns, institutions overseeing industrial psychology internship programmes, academics, qualitative researchers, managers, employees, professionals and representatives at the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). The intention of the research findings is to highlight the extreme necessity of ensuring that internship training programmes enhance professional development, rather than being detrimental to it. The autoethnographic account that is presented, portrays the author’s experience of her industrial psychology internship, the fulfilment of which, was required for registration as an industrial psychologist with the HPCSA. The thesis is divided up into four parts, namely: My Acquaintance, My Acceptance, My Acquisition, and My Analysis. In Part One, My Acquaintance, the reader is introduced to the research genre of autoethnography, as well as to contemporary creative methods, such as poetry and allegories, that have potential benefits for use in the workplace. In Part Two, My Acceptance, an autoethnographic account is presented, where scenes from the internship are ‘performed’. Through personal interpretation of these scenes, the readersare, in essence, creating an autoethnography of their perceptions of what the author experienced, and what they experience through the telling of the author’s account. In Part Three, My Acquisition, those aspects that were acquired from conducting the autoethnography are presented as contributions to academia and the industrial psychology sphere. These contribute to the current theoretical knowledge by making information available regarding the inherent experience of an intern, and the need for organisations to effectively host interns. These acquisitions are as follows: the Creative Hospitality and Integration Method (C-HIM), which suggests how an intern can be successfully assimilated to the organisation, and the Workplace Allegories which aim to empower the intern and enable her to grow in self-awareness. These Workplace Allegories are implemented through the Allegorical Implementation Method (AIM), by making use of the Workplace Allegories Bridge Approach (WABA).In terms of contributions to the field of autoethnography, My FOPR Process, My Autoethnographic Contextual Awareness Guideline (My ACAG, pronounced A-Cag), and My 4-A Grid are presented. My FOPR Process serves to guide autoethnographic researchers through the process of writing an autoethnography. My ACAG aims to assist the autoethnographic researchers, in keeping focused on events relevant to the research topic. My 4-A Grid highlights the necessity of focusing on the self (auto), the culture (ethnos) and the research process (graphy) when conducting an autoethnography (Reed-Danahay, 1997; Richards, 2003), and places emphasis on aligning these perspectives to the four tools the author deems necessary for an autoethnographic study: My Acquaintance, My Acceptance, My Acquisition and My Analysis. The entire structure of this thesis is constructed according to My 4-A Grid.In Part Four, My Analysis, three forms of autoethnographic analysis were conceived through the writing of this thesis, My Auto-Analysis (a self-analysis); My Ethno-Analysis (a brief analysis of the organisation hosting the internship); and My Graphy-Analysis (a critical analysis of the manner in which autoethnography was made use of in this thesis). / Pro.

A national skills development graduate internship programme as a talent retention strategyPop, Carver A 07 May 2010 (has links)
The retention of new graduates is a challenge to many South African companies. As a result, organisations invest in graduate internship programmes to attract and retain high calibre graduate interns. The main objective of the research was to determine whether a graduate internship programme, as a national skills development strategy, contributed to the retention of graduate interns in a South African Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Company. An exploratory, ex post facto research design was followed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative data gathering techniques. Surveys were administered among a purposive selected sample of graduate interns (N=79) and mentors (N=39) in a South African ICT company. Open ended questions were used for the triangulation of results. Results overall showed that the graduate internship programme contributed to the employability and retention of graduate interns. Practically significant relationships were found between technical skills training, mentorship, programme need and the graduate intern‟s intention to quit the internship programme. Practically significant relationships were also found between mentorship, programme need and the mentor‟s intention to employ the graduate intern. The research concludes with a retention strategy framework in guiding the implementation of a graduate internship programme in the ICT sector. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

Internship Participation: Impacts on Career Outcomes and Starting SalariesDomholt, Kimberly January 2018 (has links)
Internships are a great way for college students to gain real-world work experience. Students who participate in an internship should learn valuable skills, build a network and gain professional confidence. Employers want to see prior, relevant work experience when deciding who to hire and an internship can provide that. This quantitative research study examined the impacts on career outcomes and starting salaries for college graduates who participated in a paid internship, unpaid internship or no internship and in a structured internship program for which they receive college credit, a non-credit internship and no internship. The results clearly showed that students who completed any type of internship were employed at a higher rate than those who did not complete an internship. There was also a substantial impact on higher starting salaries for those who completed a paid internship.
