Flipped Internship Guide

A flipped Internship is a career-exploration approach designed to provide both 21st century job skills training as well as exposure to industry-specific problems from which students can further understand the fit of the career to their interests and ambitions. The intent of a Flipped Internship is to bring authentic industry projects into the classroom that allow for student discovery and a broad potential for solution recommendation. Flipped Internships can be designed for any class and in any industry sector, and therefore provide broad possibilities for student and community engagement. This general outline is provided to guide the creation of a Flipped Internship and does not seek to convey any industry-specific content.
