Career Competency Assessment Data Across Internship Program Modalities

Monday, October 20, 2025
1:45 PM - 3:00 PM CST
This session will highlight comparative survey data among Michigan State University arts and humanities students who participated in a remote international, in-person domestic (New York City), or in-person international internship program. Through examining participants’ pre- and post-assessments of career competencies as identified by NACE, attendees will gain insights into how internship modalities shape professional growth, including an examination of underrepresented student participation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand Comparative Outcomes: Attendees will analyze how the different internship modalities influence arts and humanities students’ development of key career competencies.
  • Identify Unique Benefits and Challenges: Attendees will explore advantages and limitations of remote international, in-person domestic, and in-person international internships as they pertain to career competency.
  • Develop Ideas for Program Development, Enhancement, and Assessment: Attendees will learn how such experiences can be articulated to demonstrate the value of these high-impact experiences for their own institutional goals and priorities.
