COLLEGIATE IDENTITY PARTICIPATION MODEL (CIPM) FIELDWORK & PPS INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE

Partnerships to Uplift Communities (PUC) Schools is offering a fieldwork and internship opportunity for the implementation and execution of the Collegiate Identity Participation Model (CIPM) pilot program. The training sites are two charter high schools, existing as nonsectarian public schools operating with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools. These schools offer dynamic learning environments within small communities. These innovative public schools also provide choices for families and greater accountability for results. This opportunity is for graduate students in Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs, School Counseling, or other related programs, including students working towards completion of their PPS hours. Interns would have the opportunity to provide direct support for the collegiate identity development initiatives implemented for students, including school-based individual and group academic, career, and college counseling. Interns are also expected to collect data and provide feedback for the continuous evaluation of efforts within the schools. The internships are non-paid and offered during the academic school year, August through June. Summer placement is optional. The internship includes the following: Supervision provided by National Fellow for Research and Practice Support provided by central and site-based leadership, including: School Administrative Team and School Counseling Staff.
