Description:

In its inaugural year, the Rutgers Summer Service Internship (RSSI) Program connected 100 students to paid summer internships in the public-service sector and a supporting three-credit course on civic engagement and career readiness. Panelists will share a toolkit to help you advocate for, develop, and launch a similar cohort-based internship program. Learning Objectives: Advocate for, develop, and launch a similar cohort-based program. Consider factors that affect equity and access to unpaid internships for students and employers. Build an internship course that compliments the experience at a public service–focused internship site and highlights the professional development expertise of career services.
