It’s that time of year again … when you get to make connections with off campus organizations that can provide you with rich opportunities to gain meaningful experience during your undergraduate program. It doesn’t really matter what your major is, but if you are interested in working with people with challenges of one kind or another and helping them learn, overcome, and succeed, then this fair is for you! There will also be business experiences, non-profit organizations, criminal justice, social services, health services, gerontology, women’s issues, developmental settings, educational settings, residential treatment centers, and civic engagement opportunities.

DON’T BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU ARE NOT SEEING ENOUGH ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATING! They have to go through an approval process for this virtual fair that they don’t have to do for our in-person fairs in past years, so they are learning the process too! Keep checking back on Handshake until the night before the fair, so you can sign up for new organizations that you may be interested as they add on.

Here are some ‘helps’ for you in your journey of getting registered for the Fair:

Marriott School On-Campus Internship Program is a great way to build your resume while in school! The OCI credit is not meant to replace your major credit or your capstone credit, but can provide good real-world experience with 3 credits of MSB course registration (this included Ballard Center Social Innovation Projects).

See this link for an overview of the OCI Program: https://marriottschool.byu.edu/oci/

Email karen@byu.edu for a spreadsheet of all of the available projects to choose from for winter 2021.

Teams started being put together the first week of December, but students can still sign up until January 13th for any projects still available at the time they apply.

All team meetings, meetings with the company sponsor, and classes are over Zoom.  This is a great class for the COVID-19 world.

There are no fees collected from companies/organizations for these projects.  It is an experiential learning opportunity for the students to get professional-level experience.  Students will find the course gives them real-world experience, builds a stronger résumé, allows them to enhance their education by applying the principles learned in class, and helps them land a job or full-time internship.  The projects we provide are open to all undergraduates across campus and have resulted in high satisfaction from both the companies and students.

There are  a few things important to understand:

1. All students will benefit from an OCI regardless of the company as there is an opportunity to develop competencies required in all careers.  These include:
   1. Dealing with Ambiguity
   2. Negotiation
   3. Communication
   4. Teamwork and Team Dynamics
   5. Business Research
   6. Project Management
   7. Executive Presentations and Reporting
   8. Resilience/Grit
2. While the class only meets 6 times during the semester, it is a 3-credit, graded class; so students are required to meet as teams 2-3 times per week and contribute 7 ½ to 9 hours of work each week.
3. Team assignments and access to online course work is sent out two weeks before classes begin. Students may not add the class after January 14th.
4. In general, students assigned to Fortune 500 projects are required to have completed at least one previous OCI.  So students that get started now not only gain experience and strengthen their résumé, they also set themselves up for a potential Fortune 500 project in future semesters.

If you have any questions, or if I can help in any way please let me know.

Sugar House Chamber of Commerce, President

The Provo School District Truancy Office provides rich experience for interns. They provide a strong social work in an education setting opportunity. Every year, the Truancy Office internship is a great experience for our students, but this fall it will be even more of an opportunity for growth with all of the extra challenges created by the pandemic.

The Provo Truancy Office needs several interns, but they need people who can take initiative, show innovative skills, and help in creating curriculum and new processes. They have set hours that are needed during regular school days and some after school hours may be available as well, but interns need to work around the Truancy Office schedule rather than expecting the Truancy Office to change school hours.

Just like schools had to get creative in providing ‘drive-through’ graduations at the end of the school year in May 2020, the Truancy Office will need to create new and unique engagement with students and parents. The population will look a little different this year due to many parents and students in higher economic brackets having anxiety about Covid-19 as well as anxiety about not having as much teacher contact. There will be a lot of opportunity for student interns to contribute in creating new programs and processes along with the usual type of experiences offered at the Provo Truancy Office.

If you are one who takes initiative and likes to make a difference in the world, then the Provo Truancy Office Internship experience could be the right fit for you!

If interested, please email a cover letter (expressing interest) and your resume soon to Jode Porter (pronounced like Jodie): jodep@provo.edu
