Internship in Coastal Management
Description:
[This course] places IGERT trainees with agencies, non-governmental
organizations and other partners to provide students with real world
experience working in offices, labs and in the field. This internship
provides trainees with an intensive work experience with policy makers
and other stakeholders. IGERT interns (second-year trainees) will meet
regularly on a formal basis with IGERT faculty and first-year IGERT
trainees. The objectives of the meetings are (1) to ensure the
internship opportunity is utilized most effectively; (2) to provide a
forum for IGERT interns to share their learning experiences; (3) to
provide an opportunity for faculty and peer trainees to offer insights,
points of inquiry or informed practices to enhance the value of the
trainee’s contribution to the host site; and (4) to provide insights to
first-year IGERT trainees which better prepares them for their own
internship the following year.
