Steps to WEE Student Intern Success
STEP 1: Sign up for and attend a Career Readiness workshop prior to your internship.
The Career Readiness Workshops will provide you with information on How to Conduct a Job Search, Resume Writing, Interviewing Techniques, and Professional Communication in the Workplace. The goal is to prepare students to be workforce ready and successfully transition from the classroom into a professional environment. Sign up via Handshake!
STEP 2: Complete the WEE Online Orientation
You must attend a mandatory Orientation session to receive information about the program and to complete the necessary paperwork. Mandatory Orientations are held just prior to the beginning of the semester.
STEP 3: Obtain the necessary documents for enrollment
After completing the LINKEDIN LEARNING INTERNSHIP online orientation, contact the CSEL Department and request to speak with the Job Developer/Placement Coordinator. Email CSEL@msjc.edu OR call (951) 639-5567 to schedule an appointment. During this meeting, you will receive the WEE Student Application, Training Plan, the WEE Handbook, and the WEE Enrollment Checklist. Students are responsible for reading and understanding all the necessary paperwork for the WEE program, which includes: the WEE Handbook, Student Application, and Training Plan.
STEP 4: Write workplace learning objectives
Meet with your Site Supervisor to write the 3 learning objectives on your Training Plan for the semester. Once you and your Site Supervisor agree on the 3 learning objectives, schedule a meeting with your Faculty Advisor to review and obtain their approval of the 3 learning objectives and the site location by obtaining their signature on the Training Plan.
STEP 5: Obtain the Coordinator’s Signature and submit all required documents
Once your Site Supervisor and Faculty Advisor have approved the 3 learning objectives, bring your completed WEE Student Application, WEE Enrollment Checklist and the Training Plan to the CSEL Department to Nesha Hill. Email CSEL@msjc.edu OR call (951) 639-5567 to schedule an appointment. Then submit all documents to the WEE Office Marissa Taffolla, Room 929 on the Menifee Valley Campus. You will be given copies of your documents and the Work Experience Education Program Enrollment Consent Form which you must take immediately to Enrollment Services to register.
STEP 6: Maintain Regular Contact with Faculty Advisor (Required by the California Education Code)
Maintain regular contact with your faculty advisor to discuss your progress and internship experience throughout the semester. Discuss when required meetings will need to take place throughout the semester. Your Faculty Advisor will also be conducting at least one site visit with your Site Supervisor, but you are not required to be present.
STEP 7: Submit monthly Timesheets to your faculty advisor
Timesheets are a requirement by the California Education Code. Complete the required
number of hours for the units enrolled by tracking your hours on a monthly basis.
You may begin counting your hours from the first day of the semester and not before
the semester begins. All timesheets must be signed by you and your site supervisor
and submitted to your faculty advisor on a monthly
basis. If you do not turn in signed timesheets you will received an “no pass” for
the course.
STEP 8: Meet Deadlines - Complete all assignments and submit all paperwork
Complete and submit all WEE assignments including the final essay on or before the
due dates and Student Final Self-evaluation before the end of the semester. Students
are required to submit a one page (minimum) essay outlining their internship experience.
All paperwork must be submitted as original documents to your faculty advisor. NO
paperwork can be submitted by the
student to the WEE office.
