Exciting things are happening at Roanoke College! With support from a SCHEV Vision Grant, we’re enhancing the focus on internships and work-based learning (WBL) to better prepare students for career success. Through this initiative, Maroons Forward: Building Career Through Experience, we’ll expand WBL opportunities, align them with NACE competencies, and develop systems to track outcomes and strengthen employer partnerships. This project reflects Roanoke’s commitment to helping students find purpose through experiential learning and meeting Virginia’s workforce needs. Proud to see this work moving forward with the dedication of our task force and college leaders!

Having interns on your team is extremely rewarding. Three things I learned from Maggie Heymans this summer: 1️⃣ Review your processes. Nothing is more humbling then onboarding someone only to realize the way you've been doing things may not make the most sense. 2️⃣ Investing time in your team pays huge dividends. Sure, it's always easier and faster to complete tasks yourself, but being intentional about dedicating time to share knowledge will lead to a stronger, more efficient team you can grow to trust. 3️⃣ The future is bright! The professionals entering the workforce are both eager and grounded. Their fresh perspectives and willingness to learn will help them make an impact right away in their careers. Honestly, we all might need to step up to be ready for them!

Great question. A good intern is looking for opportunities to learn new skills and contribute to the projects that they are involved with. We like to talk about engineering being self-directed continuous learning, and interns that exhibit curiosity, that are unafraid of asking questions, and are willing to dig into a little research are going to excel. A good intern mentor and supervisor is planning ahead to identify those opportunities and "clear the deck" for intern participation. This might mean that productivity occasionally temporarily takes a back seat to creating enriching experiences, but that is absolutely a great investment in the long term for the intern and the company.
