Internship Inventory is a sleek, intunitive, and powerful web-application for tracking and approving student internships in a higher-education setting. It is created and maintained by the core team of Electronic Student Services at Appalachian State University and other contributers.
Internship Inventory helps a Univeristy track internships campus-wide. We specifically care about:
- Where each student is located during their internship (because of State Authorization and in case of emergency)
- Who we should contact in case of emergency
- Generating and storing a valid contract for each internship, to protect all parties (Student, Hosts, and the University) in case of legal dispute.
We've realized other benefits too:
- We have great data for reporting and data mining!
- Internships tend to get approved more quickly, or we have good notes on what happened otherwise.
- Fewer students and faculty members skip steps in the approval process. We catch errors before they become problems.
- Cut costs by streamlining the approval process (less man-hours) and saving paper.
Instructions on how to install Internship Inventory can be found in the Wiki.
The project's documentation is maintained in the wiki. It's a bit sparse so far, but we're working on that.
