The students’ task is to identify an internship host organisation for their project placement. The activity creates a space for the students to exchange ideas and inspiration among themselves regarding their choice of internship host organisation and the next steps in the process.
The tool must be used at the beginning of the semester so that you as a teacher may best support the students’ efforts to make the initial contact to the company or organisation in question and align their expectations to this.
The purpose of the exercise is to get the students to consider if they are prepared to begin the process of identifying an internship host organisation. The exercise also increases the students’ level of reflection as to how they would like to use their academic competences in a project-oriented context.
