A SPECIALIZED PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Dr. Jabbawy, the Founder and Director of Internship Connection,
works personally with each international student. There are many
complex factors to consider when placing an international student in
an American business or workplace. Dr. Jabbawy provides each student
with a more personalized service depending on individual student
needs. That may include accompanying them to their workplace
interview, ongoing support throughout the internship, visiting them
on site and facilitating a letter of recommendation. In the initial
meeting with each student, she discusses their personal goals, the
colleges they wish to attend and helps them identify which type of
internship best matches their academic interests. Her role is one of
advocate and advisor. During the internship, she communicates with
the student’s workplace mentor to ensure that the student is
comfortable and productive in their work setting and that the
internship will enhance the student's learning experience and
academic resume. The student receives program materials that
include: instructions and examples for creating a resume, tips for
the workplace interview, 3 brief journal assignments designed for
reflection, a document for the mentor’s letter of recommendation and
other helpful materials relating to the workplace.
