Teaching an Internship Course with an Emphasis on Vocation and Calling

Abstract

Although internships are increasingly important to business students as part of their education, Christian professors can often find it difficult to integrate a Christian perspective throughout the teaching and academic supervision of interns. This article presents a model that focuses the internship experience through a process of reflection on the concepts of vocation and calling. The article also includes descriptions of assignments used in an internship course taught at a Christian college, including practices for journal writing and a list of books and films that are used in the course
