• Recommendations Related to the Findings

• Recommended Goals/Outcomes with Methods/Processes to apply to improve and enhance Internship

In addition, surveys and interviews were conducted with students and faculty by an External Consultant which

is included as part of the evidence.

The work was conducted by a Core Team and three Task Teams. Reviews were conducted by the Task

Teams and discussed with the Collegewide Team. The Teams examined current processes, data, and

documents to determine their findings and recommendations. The Team believed that addressing the

Purpose, Practices and Processes of each of the following areas would provide new opportunities for growth

and improvement for student learning. Also, the work would reveal areas needing changing to provide

consistency and potential new options in the implementation of content and outcomes of courses and

programs to address the needs of students and the workplace:

 Recruitment Process for Employers

 Recruitment Process for Faculty Teaching Internships

 Recruitment Process for Students

 Enrollment Data of Students

 Grading Process and Award of Grades

 Interaction with Faculty and Department Deans

 Interaction with Students

 Interaction with Employers

 Web Site for Internship

 Placement Services for Valencia Graduates/Completers

As part of the review process, three types of Focus Groups were conducted including Students, Faculty, and

Employers. Surveys were also conducted with two groups including faculty and employers. See the Report

Appendix for a Summary of the Surveys: Focus Groups - Appendix Page 25; Surveys - Appendix Page 33
