How To Prepare

PLANNING AHEAD

Following are some resources fro ACU Staff/Faculty as they build or improve internships on campus

NACE (National Association of Colleges & Employers) Competencies

NACE is a great go-to source for best practices on Internships. For a quick view, check out this GDoc that I reference often. Or go to NACE’s website to learn more.

Or a great place to start is this summary page on NACE’s best practices.

Sample Templates and Vocational Formation Examples from Colleagues:

If you haven’t already seen it, I have sample templates for various internship program documents from fellow ACU staff/faculty that you can reference on this page. I also have vocational formation assignment examples and other advice on this page.

AAC&U (The American Association of Colleges & Universities): High Impact Practices (HIPs)

ACU is a member of AAC&U so has access to various reports and resources on High Impact Practices, of which internships is an HIP. Interested in learning more about what is considered at HIP? Visit this simple explanation page on their website. Or reach out to the ACCEL@acu.edu to learn more about our membership and what it provides the campus.

ACU's Next Best Practices in Christian Higher Education Conference will focus on Internships!
