Cooperative Internship Program

KPC Career & Community Engagement Center coordinates a Cooperative Internship Program (CIP). Through the CIP qualified KPC students have the opportunity to earn academic credit in their major while acquiring practical skills. With guidance from KPC faculty and the Career & Community Engagement Center, students may integrate academic study with a planned, supervised work experience in the community—allowing students to test academic skills in a professional setting and explore career opportunities.

Service-Learning

The KPC Career & Community Engagement Center connects KPC faculty and students to community-based organizations in order to address community needs and enhance and deepen student learning. Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with academic rigor and student reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. The Career & Community Engagement Center houses a service-learning and civic engagement library of resources and can provide technical assistance for faculty, students and community-based organizations desiring to participate in community-based learning.
