Name: _ DOR Internship Learning Goals Personal & Professional Development Chart- PDC

Research studies show that developing autonomy, mastery, and purpose make for the most rewarding work and learning experiences. In your Internship Agreement, you set 5 personal learning goals that you would like to achieve by the semester-end of your internship experience. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. This chart serves to support the development and achievement of your 5 goals with concrete strategies and measurements of success.

Week 1-2: Identify and narrow goals. Develop creative, realistic tactics to support your growth. Define your end measure of success. Midterm: Evaluate progress and make any adjustments as necessary to your learning goals. Week 15: Final evaluation of your learning goals.

Consider: What new opportunities will you have to explore? Who or what can you learn from? What patterns of communication, problem-solving, or work style have you already developed in school, work or social settings? Are there any strengths or weaknesses you’d like to improve upon in this internship experience? What will help clarify your career and academic aspirations? How can you become more marketable in your field?

Your 5 Learning Goals may support any or all of the academic learning outcomes for the student experience outlined below:  Develop technical skills and professional communications in a work setting

 Understand industry and organizational structures, culture, and ethics

 Apply and reflect on the connections to academic theory and practice

 Strengthen critical thinking, research skills, and problem-solving skills

 Develop awareness of self, others, and social responsibility in a work, career, and global context
