Frequently Asked Questions:
When will the student be available?
Students will generally be available between 8:00am and 5:00pm on Tuesdays, although earlier and/or later times are negotiable on an individual basis. Interns should work at least 7.5 hours per week in order to meet their overall hour requirement of 75 hours. Students should be able to use up to 10 percent of their time to complete school assignments connected to the workplace experience, such as writing their blog or preparing for their final project and reflection.
Do I need to pay the student?
No. Students receive school credit and cannot be paid during the workplace learning experience. Many mentors hire students after the workplace experience is concluded, but this is not an expectation of the program.
How long is the Workplace Learning Experience?
A total of 11 Tuesdays from October-December. The students’ first day will be a Job Shadow with you on Tuesday October 4th, and then continues every Tuesday until December 13th, which is the last day of WLE.
What about insurance?
The school district will be responsible for insurance coverage, as this is a school-sponsored activity. Naturally, employers would be liable in the event of gross negligence or sexual harassment. If you have legal concerns about a student interning with you, please contact Joel Key, our WLE director, at joel@es-impact.org.
What type of support will I have?
An Impact Faculty Advisor will meet with you and the student at the beginning of the internship to set goals, create a job description, and begin to design a project for the experience. The advisor will visit the workplace several times during the course of the experience period.
