SPT 492Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: Internships offer a preliminary view into the industry and career path you have been working toward throughout your academic experience here at SNHU. Through this internship, you will have the opportunity to challenge yourself by applying theoretical knowledge and program outcomes; communicating ideas, suggestions, and relevant information; identifying areas for professional self-development; and reflecting upon the experience gained.

In this assessment, you will reflect on your internship experience by creating part of an internship brief. The real-world working environment is dynamic and complex, and some things can only be experienced in a real-world setting. Your internship brief will look at how the things you have learned in the classroom translate to a real-world work setting, as well as what things took place that were never mentioned in the classroom.

Prompt: This milestone will help you complete one of the three components for Final Project Part One, the internship brief. In this assessment, you will develop an internship brief that reflects on your internship experience. Your brief will reflect on how concepts, theories, and practices are used within a real-world work place, and how they can be applied to your future professional goals.

Specifically, these following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Programmatic Knowledge A. How did the projects in which you were involved allow you to demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and abilities in meeting the outcomes of your

program? B. Describe an experience that required you to apply management or leadership theory. How did your experiences allow you to demonstrate what

you’ve learned? Support your response with examples. C. Describe the differences between the theories you learned in the classroom and the workplace practices in this internship experience. Support
