an internship by searching MonsterTRAK.com,

FAQ's
about Internships
What
is an internship?
An internship is a job that is directly
related to either your major or your career goal and
an essential way to gain valuable work experience while
earning your degree. It can be full or part time, on
or off campus, during the school term or through the
summer break. The experience you gained in an intern
position, in your field of study, will allow you to
explore your career options and give you a useful understanding
of the field in which you wish to enter. This could
eventually provide you with the essential experience
needed to break into your planned career.
What
are the benefits of an internship?
An
internship gives you the opportunity to:
Gain
work experience in your field of study before you
graduate
Develop valuable skills in the field
Apply what you have learned from your course work
to real-life situations
Explore tentative career choices
Network with professionals and establish contacts
for future career goals

CO-OPERATIVE
EDUCATION
What
is Cooperative Educations?
Cooperative
Education
(Co-op) helps students find academically relevant
paid internships. It was designed to help students gain
experience in their chosen career fields and get a leg
up financially and scholastically. Some positions also
allow for Co-op to provide health coverage, a dental
plan, and other benefits as part of the compensation
package.
When
is a good time to do an internship?
We suggest you
start looking for an internship during the second semester
of your first year at SFSU. The best situation is to
do an internship during your last three years of study.
Can
I get academic credit for an internship?
To obtain academic credit for an internship you need
to contact your major department to make the necessary
arrangements.
Will
I be paid for my work?
Most internships offer some type of remuneration, either
wages or a stipend. There are some places that do not
pay for internship work. Every organization and corporation
will be different. You will need to decide if you can
afford to work for the experience and opportunities,
without pay.
Can
I create my own internship?
Yes, you can create an internship tailored to your academic
or career interests. Internships may or may not include
academic credit, may be paid or volunteer full-time,
or part-time. The key factor is that the internship
provides educational or career experience.
Four
steps to developing your own internship:
1. Set your goals
2. Research the field
3. Network with professionals
4. Contact potential employers
What
is the difference between an internship and a Co-op?
The Cooperative Education Program helps you find an
internship that includes course work and academic credit.
All co-op positions are paid. For more information,
see the SFSU
Cooperative Education
website.

Work-Study
Program (Financial Aid)
Work-study
is a Federal financial aid employment program that helps
students finance their education via part-time jobs. To
be eligible for a position that is funded through the
Work-Study Program, you must have applied for financial
aid and have received a Work-Study award on the Financial
Offer Letter.
Most students looking for Work-Study employment are able
to
find jobs,
but the Work-Study award is not a guarantee that you will
find a job nor that you will earn the entire amount on
your Offer Letter. You may earn up to, but not more than,
the total Work-Study award on your Offer Letter.
Your total earnings are dependent upon the number of hours
you work and your hourly pay rate. You must be enrolled
full-time at SFSU to be employed in a Work-Study position
(12 units for undergraduates, 8 units for graduates).
A Work-Study award on your Offer Letter is NOT a cash
award. After you find employment and begin working you
will receive a Work-Study paycheck.
Please be aware that earnings from Non-Work Study funded
positions will be included as income if you apply for
financial aid in future years. A financial aid counselor
should be consulted if you have any questions or concerns
regarding how employment may impact your eligibility for
financial aid.
Position classifications that may be held under the Work-Study
Program include the Student Trainee, which are often referred
to as “work study student assistants” (Classification
Codes: 1872 and 1871), Instructional Student Assistant
(Classification Code: 1151), and Graduate Assistant (Classification
Code: 2326). The Work-Study Program cannot be used in
conjunction with Teaching Associate appointments.
Student
Assistant Positions
Student Assistant appointments
are part-time, on-campus positions available to students
who are enrolled at least half-time at SFSU (6 units undergraduates,
4 units graduates). These positions typically involve
clerical or manual work. They are not covered by a collective
bargaining unit agreement. (Non Work-Study Classification
Code: 1870)
Instructional
Student Assistant, Graduate Assistant, and Teaching Associate
Positions
These positions are part-time positions for currently
enrolled or admitted SFSU graduate students and are covered
by a collective bargaining unit agreement (Unit 11).
Instructional Student Assistant positions (Classification
Codes: 1150, 1151) typically involve tutoring, teaching,
grading or other duties in an academic department, program
or administrative area and are paid on a hourly basis.
Graduate Assistant positions typically involve
assisting a faculty member or teaching staff with professional
and technical duties associated with the area in which
the graduate student is commencing or completing graduate
study/work (Classification Codes: 2325, 2326).
Teaching Associate positions provide graduate
students with practical teaching experience in fields
related to the area of study and also involve assisting
faculty or teaching staff with various professional and
technical activities related to classroom and/or laboratory
instruction.
