Abstract | Student internships are valued as solid indicators of future employability, which often result in the acquisition of additional education and career skills. This study describes the perceptions of interior design students after completing a summer internship with a design firm. Utilizing a case study approach, the study data were collected through a survey instrument which gauged students' perceptions of their internship experience, particularly compensation, learning, and satisfaction. They were also asked how beneficial this experiential learning activity was in gaining technical, professional, and communication skills. The results reveal that skills related to employability were perceived as most beneficial and that financial compensation had a weak relationship with overall internship satisfaction. Students believed they learned important hard and soft skills from their internship, regardless of their pay rate. Degree programs with an internship requirement can help their students be better prepared for successful employment upon graduation. (As Provided). |
