North Jersey Friendship House, Inc.’s Post

I am so happy to meet with our students — whether it’s 2 or 12 or 20:— to learn about their Cougar Experience, what we do well, and areas we could do better. Today we spent quite a bit of time on internships. #GoCoogs #studentaffairs #studentsuccess #highereducation #studentvoice

New in The Journal of Child Life: Child Life Internship Readiness: Perspectives of Child Life Academics Brittany Wittenberg Camp, PhD, CCLS, CFLE, Kathryn Cantrell, PhD, CCLS, Cara Sisk, PhD, CCLS Child life academics and internship coordinators and supervisors are vital stakeholders in the student-to-professional pipeline because both perform unique roles in supporting students pursuing a child life career. This is the first study on child life internship readiness from the perspectives of child life academics. The results and discussion from this survey with child life academic professionals add to the conversation about the profession’s expectations for internship readiness. Study findings showcase the increasing delays and difficulties students experience obtaining a child life internship. Improved awareness, communication, and collaboration between these groups would be a strong first step in addressing the profession’s need to improve the documented job crisis in child life.

Another thought for #Childlifeinternship coordinators in the week before #OFFERWEEK: As a faculty member at #BankStreetCollegeofEducation, I assist students in preparing for fieldwork and internships. In the past, I have advised them that hospital Child Life teams look for a "good fit" when evaluating potential candidates. However, in light of the growing awareness of racial and ethnic diversity disparities within our field and the unique needs of neurodivergent learners, I am questioning whether this approach is still appropriate. In our polarized world, barriers are broken down when we open ourselves to different points of view, backgrounds, language styles, and temperaments. Maybe the next best intern isn't the one who fits in, but the one who challenges your team to grow and engage in courageous conversations. Please consider this while making your final decisions about what is good for your team.

September 20th is #WhyApply Day in Tennessee! One of my top reasons for choosing APSU - community. Professors, mentors, and peers helped push me to excel in many ways. I had opportunities to showcase my work and knowledge in research competitions, and an on-campus internship. These connections have turned into life-long friends. At APSU, there’s someone who will help you achieve your dreams and goals. #LetsGoPeay 🎩🧐 #CollegeApplicationandExplorationMonth
