POL 290 — State or Local Government Internship
The Internship is designed to provide students with work experience in an office for either state or local government in Jefferson Community College’s service area. Each enrolled student will work a minimum of 90 hours per semester in the office, observing and participating in the outreach, research and constituent service work of the office. Student learning experience will be demonstrated by written work through a journal and project reports. Greater insight into, and familiarity with, the functioning of state and local government agencies is the major benefit of participation in this course.
