Description

Goals

  • To engage the intern in a professional setting and provide him or her with the chance to apply the theoretical learning of the classroom to practical situations, activities and challenges.
  • To create an experience affording the student the opportunity to explore his/her educational and career interests while pursuing useful work for his or her host department.
  • To facilitate the requirements for students and professionals seeking academic credit, fulfilling college or university requirements and educational enrichment.

Expectations

  1. Interns will be required to work 20-40 hours per week for a period of at least six weeks. (Students wishing to work less than 20 hours per week may submit a written request to do so. These requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If placed, the relationship of the student to the Foundation will be in a “volunteer” capacity, and referred to as such.)
  2. During the fall or spring semesters, students will be required to work at least 12-15 hours per week in order to fulfill internship requirements. (Note: Students who choose to work less than the required time will be considered “volunteers” and referred to as such.)
  3. Interns will keep a portfolio of their impressions and experiences, such as journals, visual materials and completed projects.
  4. Interns may have the opportunity to participate in:
      • Weekly seminars with Colonial Williamsburg staff members offering the opportunity to learn more about the philosophy, administration, function and diversity of a museum or historical organization.
      • Field trips to different museums and cultural institutions. This fieldwork offers the students a broad, comparable perspective of museum work.
  5. Interns will be expected to research and implement a project as designated by their host department (as a whole or in part). Interns also may be called upon to assist in the day-to-day operations of their host department.
  6. INTERNSHIPS ARE NOT PAID.

Eligibility:

A prospective intern must have successfully completed his/her 1st and 2nd years of study in an accredited college or university. He/she must be enrolled in the 3rd or 4th year of study or in an advanced degree program at an accredited college or university.
