Developing Virtual Project-Based Internships Online Community
The Covid-19 pandemic and shutdown challenged higher education institutions and employers across the country and world to reevaluate the structure and experience of internship courses and programs for its students, with CUNY institutions no exception.
At BMCC, we faced the similar challenge of providing our students with virtual internships once the pandemic hit and their internship sites closed. This problem also underscored the immediate need to create virtual project-based internship opportunities that would allow students to transition from a traditional in-person internship if needed, but also to explore other alternatives that can be part of the curriculum for those students preferring a virtual internship under normal circumstances.
The goal of this group is to serve as a destination for CUNY internship/cooperative education faculty and career development staff to interact, share resources and best practices, including technologies, related to developing virtual project-based internships courses and programs for students.
