Abstract

Researchers in different disciplines worldwide have documented the direct impacts of the COVID-19 virus (COVID). Along with the direct effects, the impact of COVID restrictions has changed how students use traditional career readiness programs. Moreover, COVID restrictions act as a "career shock" for student job-seekers. Career shocks are extremely disruptive events that cause individuals to rethink career choices and reflect on their career plans. The global implementation of COVID restrictions has arguably created a "universal" career shock beyond the career shock theory's original foci. Expanding the career shock analysis to include universal disruptions requires a reevaluation of job-seeking methods and opportunities. As a part of rethinking job search methodology through a career shock theoretical lens, this paper focuses on how academic program professors and career center personnel collaborate to support job-seeking students. This research initiated an educational innovation due to the decline in internship availability impacting external interview placement. A non-placement pilot will assist students in completing traditional internship requirements while providing an in-class experiential learning opportunity. This Pilot Course was created as a direct response to the Federal Workforce Development Strategy announced in November 2020. It will use the success factors of adding a non-placement Work-Integrated-Learning (WIL) opportunity within the Practicum course and employ an androgogical, "Differentiated Instruction" design. The study concludes by discussing the future implications of practicum-based internships.
COVID-19限制对实习流程的影响
世界各地不同学科的研究人员都记录了COVID-19病毒(COVID)的直接影响。除了直接影响外,COVID限制的影响还改变了学生使用传统职业准备计划的方式。此外,新冠肺炎限制对学生求职者来说是一种“职业冲击”。职业冲击是一种极具破坏性的事件,它会导致个人重新思考职业选择,反思自己的职业规划。全球实施的新冠肺炎限制可以说造成了一种“普遍的”职业冲击,超出了职业冲击理论的最初焦点。将职业冲击分析扩展到包括普遍的中断,需要重新评估求职方法和机会。作为通过职业冲击理论视角重新思考求职方法的一部分,本文重点关注学术项目教授和就业中心人员如何合作来支持求职学生。由于实习机会的减少影响了外部面试的安排,这项研究发起了一项教育创新。非安置试点将帮助学生完成传统的实习要求,同时提供课堂体验式学习机会。该试点课程是对2020年11月宣布的《联邦劳动力发展战略》的直接回应。它将利用在实习课程中增加非安置式工作结合学习(WIL)机会的成功因素,并采用男性化的“差异化教学”设计。研究最后讨论了以实践为基础的实习对未来的影响。
