job training and work experience. Application of entrepreneurship management
knowledge, principles and practices to the entrepreneurial business and
management setting. Formal approval by the Department Head / Program
Coordinator / Internship Administrator (as appropriate) is required.
RATIONALE: The internship in entrepreneurship management gives students the opportunity to
apply their skills, knowledge and abilities learned in the entrepreneurship
management program to the actual entrepreneurial business and management
setting. In addition, the internship provides students with the opportunity to
continue to develop and enhance their skill sets, personally and professionally,
and to prepare for the contemporary workplace through their exposure to the
entrepreneurial environment and their interaction with industry professionals.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: As a result of completing this course, the student should be able to:
1. Design a personal development plan based on a critical self-assessment of
intellectual, practical/professional and transferable skills necessary for
personal and professional growth and for career success.
2. Compare and contrast business management theories, principles and concepts
to contemporary practices in entrepreneurship management and in the
entrepreneurial business and management setting.
3. Evaluate management interventions for addressing managerial challenges in
entrepreneurship management.
METHOD OF TEACHING AND
LEARNING:
In congruence with the teaching and learning strategy of the college, the
following tools are used:
· Use of Blackboard site, where the student’s advisor posts notes,
instructions, announcements as well as additional resources in relation
to the internship.
· Office hours: Students are encouraged to contact their advisor, where
they can ask questions and discuss internship issues.
· Professional seminars and workshops: Seminars organized and
delivered by the School of Business faculty on professional conduct,
ethos, service quality in sports management; workshops on interviewing
skills, drafting of CV, presentation skills delivered in cooperation with
the Office of Careers Services.
· Work-based learning internship: 180 work hours in entrepreneurship
management and in the entrepreneurial business and management
setting.
· Critical Incident and Intervention Report (individual): Bi-weekly report
with identification of critical incidents and recommendations for
management intervention in relation to these incidents (500 to 600
words per report) accompanied by daily journal (daily activity log) of
the activities the student intern undertakes during the internship.
· Internship provider evaluation of the student-intern performance of tasks
and overall professional demeanor.
· Personal Development Planning Report: The work-based learning
internship experience is used as the basis for reflective learning in terms
of the student’s personal development. The student should provide a
report incorporating a personal self-assessment of skills, competences
and areas for improvement and an action plan for the further
development of professional skills and competences. Grading of the
PDP report takes the Internship Provider evaluation into account.
· Reflective Paper (individual): After the completion of the internship, the
student must write a reflective paper, integrating his/her experiential
learning from the internship-placement with the theories taught in class
in relation to the sports industry. The paper should include
recommendations to management based on the student-intern’s
evaluation of professional practice.
