EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH INTERNSHIP

Montreal in Action believes in experiential learning and working with educational institutions to create unique, personalized learning programs for our interns that meet the varied learning goals, competencies and requirements of their educational program while also supporting our social cause: equality and justice.

overview

Through hands-on experience, our internship program is intended to provide undergraduate and graduate students with knowledge, tools, skills, and experiences that they can readily apply to their professional pursuits. Interns will participate in a vibrant and dynamic working environment that will not only allow them to gain valuable applied experience, but to also make connections in the professional fields that they are considering for their career paths.

Each intern will be supervised by a professional with relevant background in the intern’s field of interest, and expertise in the type of work the intern will be performing. Intern supervisors will work with interns to develop intentional learning objectives and competencies that are structured into the learning experience. Intern supervisors will serve as an interns point of contact in the organization. Interns will meet regularly with their supervisor wherein they will receive their assignments, and appropriate guidance, as well as constructive feedback and support through the internship process.
