The 15th CCIT Internship Orientation

Events, General

032

January 20 marked the 15th College of Computers and Information Technology (CCIT) Internship Orientation. Starting in August 2010, Dr. Sharon Setterlind, Dean of CCIT, revised the IT program curriculum to include a formal, credit internship. Since then, internships have grown steadily. This semester, a total of 34 students secured an internship.

Each semester, the Internship Coordinator works with the CCIT faculty to provide an orientation for the students serving that semester. This semester, the orientation was attended by 26 students. Companies offering internships this semester include:

During the first few years, only 35% of the internships were paid. As the program has grown, more employers are paying IT interns and offering students jobs following their internship. As a result of their internship, SPC CCIT students are working at companies such as Focus School Software, The City of St. Petersburg, PlateSmart Technologies, NetWolves, Diginonymous, BayCare Health System, Network People, Panyha Foundation, SPC, and GSP.

Internship Opportunity Turns Into Full Time Employment!

General, Student Stories

Tech-Data-Costa-Rica-e1418838994461Congratulations to Dominic Gianfrancesco. Dominic is a 2014 graduate of SPC and is the first student to participate in an international internship with SPC and Tech Data and the first in securing immediate employment with a great company. Dominic interned at Tech Data in San Jose, California before traveling to Costa Rica for a six-week duration.

“Tech Data is appreciative of the opportunity to partner with St. Petersburg College in support of their international internship program,” said Marian Morlock, Director of Human Resources at Tech Data. Morlock continued, “internships are a win for students, academic institutions and employers.  They provide invaluable hands-on experience to supplement what is learned in the classroom. Low in cost and high in value, internships prepare students for the workforce while creating talent-ready job applicants.” Jason Krupp, Director of Workforce Services, agreed, stating this was a “great example of how internships lead to increased employment opportunities, and how SPC teams worked together to help a student connect with one of our area’s top employers.”

Ramona Kirsch, Director of SPC International Programs, added, “this type of international partnership is an important collaboration in which an academic institution and a global corporation see first-hand the essential role global competencies and international job experience plays in a graduating student’s ability to be competitive in the marketplace and to secure employment.”

Read all of Dominic’s blogs and learn more about his internship and the SPC Center for International Programs.
