Memorandum of Understanding

bridge Westmont requires internship site supervisors to read and abide by the following Agrent.

To enrich the Student's knowledge by orienting him/her to the occupation, the work setting, and the responsibilities relating to the Placement.
To supply the Student with, and personally model, our policy against harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
As the entity with influence over and responsibility for workplace safety, to extend Worker's Compensation to the Student in the event of an injury, just as would be extended to an ordinary employee.
To assume the normal legal liabilities associated with our business insofar as they may be affected by the internship.
To contact the Instructor should problems arise.
At or near the completion of the Assignment, to complete an evaluation of the Student's performance.

And for Placements for more than zero Planned Units: (as marked above)

To review and approve the Student's learning plan.
To regularly evaluate and offer feedback on the Student's progress, projects, and areas of growth, and to review progress on the learning plan.
To delegate no more of the Student's time for routine clerical tasks (filing, copying, answering the phone, and keyboarding) than is necessary for fulfilling the learning plan.

This Memorandum of Understanding is printed on the Internship Learning Agreement Form (ILAF). An internship supervisor is required to sign the ILAF before a student enters into an internship arrangement.
