[Hidden-tech] Some Added Reasons to Exhibit at Internship Fair

[Andy Klapper]

What kind of support does the intern get from the CS faculty?

I had an intern that was supposed to be writing XML files that get used by a
testing program to test an application that I wrote and support for a client
of mine.  While I admit that I really didn't put in the amount of time that
I should have on this, the student also got very little support from the
college other than providing a computer that he could work with.

I might be willing to try this again depending on the amount of support and
guidance the student would receive from the CS faculty.


Andy.

Some more info for folks on the fence.

I called UMASS office because it wasn't clear to me if interns
needed pay or not.

Here's what I was told:

    - the fair is for liberal arts majors with an IT minor

    - interships are 3, 6, or 9 month terms

    - if internship has appropriate focus, students get academic
      credit

    - if student can get academic credit, they may take a
      non-paid internship

    - since the IT is a minor, it's possible to get credit for a
      technical internship

    - an internship spent answering phones won't get credit.

    - an internship creating marketing collateral and strategy
      likely would get credit

    - it's the first time the career office is doing this for
      Hidden Tech.

So for $25 bucks and four or five hours of time, it seemed like a
good investment.

You can pay Amy the $25 using PayPal, so it's easy to sign up.

Hopefully, we will get a good turnout so hidden-tech will get
access to this resource again.
