Let's Discuss: What is Experiential Education?
Thursday May 3, 2007
Hiring new employees who have completed some form of experiential education is a key factor for many organizations today. These experiential experiences can go by a number of names; including, internships, co-ops, practicums, service learning, externships, apprenticeships, fellowships, as well as volunteer opportunities.
An old Chinese Proverb best describes the importance of experiential education:
"Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I may remember.
Involve me and I will understand."
Hello,
I used internships.about.com forum to get information for that i had in my class. This is an excellent site for this information
I’m happy to hear that the information on the forum was helpful to you in your college coursework. I hope the topics and information covered on the site is also helpful to you if you are looking for an internship, engaging in some career exploration or even putting together a resume and cover letter.
Just an introduction. Glad to be here, I’m new. Saying hi to all you all.
