LaGuardia Community College
Internship Learning Objectives (June 2008)

of

Ricardo Barriga

During my internship, I would like to:

I will show up on my scheduled time.

I will create a “to do” list so that I may list my responsibilities and be aware of them.

Create a "goals list" in order to successfully manage my time

Goal 2:

 Increase my knowledge of a specific occupational setting (e.g., hospital, theater, school, business office, art gallery, music company, photography studio).

Action Steps:

     Job shadowing is the best way to obtain hands-on knowledge of the position you are looking to obtain. I will shadow a cardio vascular surgeon, if possible, to see what a day in the life of a cardiovascular surgeon is like. Look at the career databases in order to show a list of qualifications and skills needed for a particular position.

Goal 3:

   Increase my knowledge of a specific profession or occupation (e.g., teacher, doctor, social worker, engineer, administrative assistant, fashion designer, and scientist) through observation, interaction with co-workers, and/or performing my internship responsibilities.

Action Steps:

     I will use my internship as an opportunity to gain the medical experience needed to qualify for medical school. I will also talk to my co-workers to obtain information on the daily requirements and duties. I will talk to doctors and managers for special tasks and duties outside my regular responsibilities.
