Experiential Education Experiential Education includes field experience such as internships and cooperative education, job shadows, volunteer work, consulting projects, and practicums. Experiential Education is campuswide in scope and available to all students regardless of major. Interns are placed with a site supervisor willing to provide training and supervision. Interns receive valuable on-the-job training while earning college credit, and in some cases are also paid. Work assignments must be relevant to the student’s major program of study and relate to the student’s educational and professional goals. Students may participate in the program in the fall or spring semesters or during the summer months which would enable them to work full-time at the site. Students have access to local, regional, national, and international contacts for internship opportunities through resources in Career Services and the Experiential Education Office, and on the Career Center web site: www.jc.edu. The Career Alumni Network, alumni and friends of JC, provides contacts for job shadows and information regarding interviews. International students seeking curricular
and optional practical training should consult the Career Center Director. For more Career information, contact the Career Center Director located in Raugust Library.
