mardi 18 octobre 2016 à 14:00–15:00 CDT
Royal D
Session Type

Thinking (Concurrent Session): 60-75 minutes

Session Description

Telework, virtual work, and virtual teams have created a technology-based demand for workers with demonstrated ability to perform tasks in a virtual or web-based space. Virtual internships are on the rise as a way to meet that need and are changing the experiential learning landscape by providing a higher education driven platform for student-to-worker transitions. This interactive session offers exposure to past research and uses session activities to help participants identify future virtual internship program possibilities. Attendees will learn what students, faculty, and employers have to say about the things they need to make a decision to adopt or reject a virtual internship program. Attendees will also be given information about successful programs that can be used to make future planning decisions.
