| Abstract: | For many years, managers have pointed out a major gap in students' business and management courses: practical experience and real-world skills. A well-designed internship course can supply this missing piece, but not if the students are given trivial or meaningless tasks. The course must foster critical thinking, give internees real responsibilities, and require constant feedback and evaluation by manages or mentors. Reflecting its rigorous structure and careful monitoring, an internship course offered by the University of Houston with the Houston District EEOC office seems to meet the requirements to provide successful hands-on managerial experience. |
