The course will also cover:

- Networking
- Developing a Web Presence
- Writing a Professional Statement

During the internship second term students will take a course that meets once per week in which they will receive support from Career Development and their faculty advisor.
During this course, students will:
- Reflect upon and engage in deeper discussion about their internship experience
- Explore how to deal with unexpected situations and solve problems
- Examine motivation and independence
Throughout the internship, advisors and supervisors provide feedback so that the student not only has the experience, but also understands the internship's meaning in relation to their career and professional growth.
