Learning Objectives
As a part of your Handshake registration process, you must provide learning objectives to accomplish during the duration of your internship. Learning objectives are clear, concise, narrow statements indicating particular knowledge or skill the student is expected to achieve. A well-constructed learning objective includes an explanation of how the objective will be accomplished (in what specific activities will the student engage in order to master the objective), and a means by which mastery of the knowledge or skill taught is measured. Students must complete four out of the six learning objectives within the Internship Registration Form in Handshake:
Learning Objective 1: Critical Thinking/Problem Solving
Learning Objective 2: Oral/Written Communications
Learning Objective 3: Teamwork/Collaboration
Learning Objective 4: Technology Skills
Learning Objective 5: Leadership Skills Learning
Objective 6: Professionalism/Work Ethic -
Learning Objective Example
Learning Objective: Oral/Written Communications
Learning Goal: To become familiar with the tasks performed in a public relations department in a non-profit agency.
Means of Accomplishment: Successfully write a publishable press release. If writing a press release is not already
assigned to me, I will request the opportunity to write one. Research and seek advice on how to write press releases
from co-workers and faculty. Write the press release. Have my supervisor review and edit draft until it is in
publishable form.
Means of Measurement: Employer publishes/uses press release or indicates that it could be used.
*Please ensure you designate Handshake as an approved sender (to avoid future emails going into the clutter or spam folders)*
This process must be completed by the semester’s add/drop deadlines in order for you to receive credit for your internship.
