ITI Internships

As you progress through the ITI major, we encourage you to identify your career aspirations and learning needs and develop learning objectives and strategies consistent with those needs. After you complete a minimum of 24 credits in the major, you may apply to undertake 04:547:450 ITI Internship.

An ITI internship is approximately 150 hours of professional workplace employment with an approved employer or organization in a corporate, nonprofit or educational setting. It must represent a significant learning opportunity that allow you to:

• Apply the knowledge and skills you learned during the major.
• Extend your classroom learning.
• Develop an understanding of the dynamics of the ITI workplace.
• Contribute in a professional way to a range of initiatives and goals of the chosen organization.

The proposal represents a formal agreement between you, the place of employment and SC&I. Download the ITI Internship Application Proposal form for:

The deadline for submission for the 12-week Summer 2020 session is May 31, 2020.

Once you receive approval, you are assigned a Special Permission Number to proceed with the enrollment and commence the internship.

Throughout the semester you will meet online with the ITI internship coordinator individually and as a group with other interns. A discussion list will offer opportunities for you to describe your experiences, answer questions and learn from other students. These discussions of substantive internship experiences are expected as part of course participation.
