SHIFT for HIGHER EDUCATION

Internship Seminar

Giving Traditional College Students Real World Experience and New Career Paths

While the AIR curriculum was originally developed with working professionals in mind, AIR has created a version for a University level audience. The semester-long Internship seminar teaches students collaboration and business skills, while placing them in real-life working situations. Internship hosts are trained mentors and have specific projects for the students to complete, to ensure a meaningful experience.

During the semester, students are required to attend networking events outside of the University-setting to help them develop career connections and provide diverse experiences. They also develop their own career plan and action steps for when they graduate. The seminar is a valuable way for students to learn and apply business tools that they will use for years to come.
