Developmental Stages of an Internship In Chapter 2 you are introduced to the four Developmental Stages of Internship.
During the first stage – Anticipation – the author says: “What is most important at this
the stage is that you learn to define your goals clearly and specifically, begin considering
what skills you will need to reach them, and develop a realistic and mutually agreed on
set of expectations for the experience.” (p36). Identify and discuss several important goals
that you plan to establish for yourself for this practicum experience. What, if any, effect do internships have on the career readiness of first-generation students? Similarly, how do study abroad experiences impact first-generation students’ career readiness?
