II. Student Commitments and Responsibilities

The STUDENT'S commitments and responsibilities are:

1. a. To register in RECR 2388 (Internship Orientation and Portfolio

Development) in the fall term preceding Internship. b. To purchase their Internship Manual from the College Bookstore.

2. a. To read and understand the expectations for Internship outlined by the

College. b. To study the Internship Manual and raise questions in areas of concern. c. To attend orientation classes as directed and to complete any further

assignments or requirements.

3. To ensure they have a current personal resume available.

4. To schedule an appointment with the Portfolio Instructor to review their resume and discuss interest areas, abilities, needs, goals, objectives, and possible internships. (Lists of some previous internship agencies are included as Appendix A of this manual.) The student should begin to look for possible internship agencies. (A copy of a Letter of Introduction and an overview: Internship Manual are included in the next sections of this manual.) Potential agencies must be located in the lower mainland between Horseshoe Bay and Abbotsford.

5. To obtain the following information from prospective Agency Supervisors:

a. Name of agency, contact person, address, email and telephone numbers. b. General description of agency including, if possible, recent program brochures,

statement of philosophy, goals, and objectives of the agency. c. Statement of possible duties and responsibilities of the internship including

activities, general time schedule, place of operation, and so forth. d. Nature and description of the participants with whom work will be done. e. Available facilities, equipment, and similar factors. f. Does the potential Agency Supervisor have time to properly supervise a student

for fourteen weeks?

6. To research each prospective agency thoroughly; to study the materials given to them by the prospective agencies and make a preliminary decision on two or three possibilities. Students should take time to consider what they value most in life when making their decision (ie. family, friends, achievement, learning, flexibility, power, affiliation, free time, team work, creativity, equity, honesty, fair play, etc.). The list is never ending (it also changes as you mature).

7. To schedule meetings with the potential Agency Supervisors to discuss the possible

internship of that student with the agency. Students should consider which agencies share their values and will allow them to achieve a comfortable work life balance. The student should allow prospective supervisors to study their copy of the manual in order to fully understand the meaning of internship.

3


8. To contact the Portfolio Instructor once this meeting has taken place to

conditionally approve the internship of the student at the agency. Signed copies of the Letter of Acceptance from the Agency and Internship Contracts with the Agency Supervisor and the Student must be forwarded to the Portfolio Instructor. (Please see the following section of this manual for a sample letter and the two contract forms.)

9. To schedule a second meeting with the Agency Supervisor (once the internship is

conditionally approved), to discuss the Student Mission Statements, Goals and Objectives Form and to draft a Job Description for the student (please see Appendix B for completed samples of these forms.) Once completed, a copy of these documents are to be given to the Portfolio Instructor for review. An Address and Schedule Form, a Student-Agency Planning Sheet, as well as a current resume must be turned in at this time by the student (please also see Appendix B for completed samples of these forms).

10. To notify the agency as to her/his acceptance. In cases where a student decides on

an alternative internship, the student will notify the agency. THIS PROCESS MUST BE COMPLETED BY NO LATER THAN TUESDAY, NOV. 8th AT 4:30 PM. The Portfolio Instructor gives final approval to all students for internships. Once accepted, the student will be given an Internship Manual to pass along to their Agency Supervisor. Langara College’s Contract Insurance and Risk Consultant will work with each Agency Supervisor to review and have a representative sign an Internship Agreement document for their practicum student. The assigned Internship Faculty Supervisor will contact each Agency Supervisor near the end of the fall term to discuss the upcoming Internship placement starting in January.

They would be on-site approximately 35 hours per week with their time being split as follows: 25 - 30 hours for agency work and 5 - 10 hours to complete required assignments for the college based on the agency placement. If you would be interested in hosting the student who has contacted you, please ask them for a copy of the "Internship Manual" which will explain the internship in greater detail. Or feel free to check the information on-line on our website, at www.langara.ca/recweb. Once there, please click on the “Internship” link. If you have any questions with respect to the internship or the program in general, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your interest in our program. Sincerely yours, Yue-Ching Cheng Program Coordinator/Instructor Recreation Leadership Diploma Program (604) 323-5276 [email protected] yc/al

Suggested Weekly Internship Calendar and Weekly Focus Area Detail Sheets

Introduction: The "Suggested Weekly Internship Calendar" outlines topics to be covered by each student in the form of a weekly focus area. The order of the focus areas is flexible and is determined by the agency and the student, with approval of the Faculty Supervisor. Please utilize the “Student-Agency Planning Sheet” which follows. The scope and depth of the student's exposure will, naturally, vary according to the nature of the internship agency and the student's assigned responsibilities. On-going consultation with the student, the Agency Supervisor and the Faculty Supervisor is seen to be of major importance in ensuring that the overall student exposure to the areas of focus is one which challenges the student and expands his or her present level of understanding and experience.

Focus Areas: Assignments appear in each of the weekly focus areas. The student and

Agency Supervisor should review each focus area and make necessary adaptations specific to the agency, where necessary, to assure maximum learning. The student should complete each focus area in consultation with the Agency Supervisor and/or appropriate staff person in the agency.

Focus area topics will form a major basis for discussion between the student and the Agency Supervisor. Therefore, it is essential that the student complete all research and assignments and have them signed off by the Agency Supervisor prior to reporting back to their Faculty Supervisor.

Modules: Module projects are to be completed in consultation with the student’s

Agency Supervisor and the Faculty Supervisor. The projects should be identified by the end of the third week in January.

Modules are designed to incorporate both written and practical assignments which require more time than those identified under the “weekly focus area” topics.

Sample Letter of Acceptance from the Agency November _____, 2017 Erin Wilkins Portfolio Instructor Langara College 100 West 49th Avenue Vancouver, BC V5Y 2Z6 Dear Erin: Subject: Learnmuch Community Centre Internship – Jane Smith On behalf of the Learnmuch Community Centre, I would like to inform you that we will accept Jane Smith as an internship student as outlined in the Recreation Leadership Diploma Program’s Internship Manual. The Learnmuch Community Centre understands the responsibilities of the agency, college and students as well as the goals of the internship. We accept the student for the fourteen-week term commencing Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018 and concluding on Friday, April 13th, 2018 with the understanding that she will devote 25 - 30 hours per week to practical work and the remaining 5 - 10 hours to academic work. Jane will generally be expected to work 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday except on occasion where curriculum or special events would require Jane to perform shift or weekend work. Jane would begin her placement at the Learnmuch Community Centre, but her projects may also include Learn-Even-More Education Complex. The schedule and projects will be organized in a manner that will be the most benefit to the student in completing her weekly focus areas. As the agency supervisor, I look forward to working with Jane, during her placement with the Learnmuch Community Centre. I am sure we can provide Jane with a valuable learning experience. The attachments include the internship contracts for myself and Jane, student mission statement, goals and objectives form, a student job description, address and schedule form, and student-agency planning sheet, which could vary slightly before the beginning of the internship. I understand that our Agency will be reviewing and a representative signing an Internship Agreement with Langara College once we are confirmed to host Jane Smith. Please contact me at 604-294-6000 if you have any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely,

Bill Jones Program Manager cc. Sylvester Hobbes, Felix Garfield, Bob Katt
