Overview THE SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIP: PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND CIVIC DEVELOPMENT, 5th Edition, is more than just a resource for finding and interviewing for internships. It focuses on the internship as a vehicle for personal, professional and civic development. It also addresses the concerns, emotions, needs and unique personal challenges that are the essence of an internship or field experience. The authors detail the path on which students will embark and the challenges they'll face along the way--providing clear, concrete tools that build the foundation for students' successful field/practicum experience. The text's four-stage model of the internship process--anticipation, exploration, competence and culmination--organizes the material into a meaningful framework that helps students understand the work they will be doing.
