进化的实习
自疫情以来，实习岗位发生了巨大变化. 远程工作, 公司裁员, 更少的位置, and more applicants have contributed to making it difficult to obtain the in-office, 过去的实地实习经验.
“在某些方面，这感觉像是全新的一天,查莉蒂·奥斯本说, 主管本科生的副院长. “The pandemic shook up the work world in ways that have affected everyone — including, 当然, 网易彩票app的学生.”
At SPU, changing student demographics have also required us to rethink internship requirements. Many SPU students are first-generation college students who already work 30-40 hours per week, 奥斯本说.
“实习 are a necessity,加里·卡恩斯说, 研究生项目副院长. “But universities and employers will have to recalibrate what they mean by internships. 核心原则仍然是为工作做好准备. We have to ask, ‘How can we help students obtain relevant outcomes from their work experience?’”
除了拓宽实习的定义, SBGE has also added more feedback and mentorship from professionals and restructured the pre- and post-internship courses. The courses are now taught by SBGE adjunct instructor Kristen Thornton, 他是Zillow的人力分析高级经理. The classes focus on basic skills for early career preparation, 比如面试, 谈判, 时间管理.
At the end of the course, Thornton asks what students have learned. 她总是听到:“多问问题.”“要更好奇.”“如果你不知道所有的答案也没关系.”
桑顿受到了这些教训的鼓舞. “随着人工智能改变工作场所, we need to feel like employees can ask questions and effectively navigate the changing landscape of work.”
