It is <br /> because of organizations like yours that our Water Environment <br /> Technologies program at St . Cloud Technical College and the Metro <br /> locations will continue to grow. <br /> This letter is meant to serve, as a guideline to assist you with <br /> activities the student interns should be involved with. The <br /> internship is an extremely important portion of the students <br /> training. It provides an essential link between classroom, actual <br /> operations and maintenance at a treatment facility. Our past <br /> students have consistently expressed the value the internships <br /> provide them during their educational training in the Water <br /> Environment Technologies program. <br /> Some suggestions we have that may make the internship beneficial <br /> to the students and your organization include: <br /> 1 . A solid orientation program. <br /> 2 . Don' t overlook unwritten rules of the work place. <br /> 3 . Treat interns as a new employee. <br /> 4 . Interns want broad experience and exposure. <br /> 5 . Interns like attainable goals . <br /> 6 . Interns like to know that their work is worthwhile. <br /> 7 . Interns crave feedback and positive reinforcement. <br /> 8 . If a plant-operating manual exists, make the intern aware <br /> of it . <br /> This one-week internship is designed to provide the student with <br /> as many "hands-on activities" as possible, related to water <br /> treatment . Some suggestions for the internship are : <br /> 1 . Inspect pump house (s) and record all readings . <br /> 2 . Adjustment of chemical feed rates. <br /> 3 .
