Internship/Practicum Experience Forms and Information

Here you will find complete instructions and helpful guides on how to sign up for Internship/Practicum Experience.  Most of these documents provide information or instruct you on collecting information you will need for your application. You will need to submit only two things: 1) the Travel and Liability forms, and 2) the Handshake Internship/Practicum Experience Contract. However, completing the Contract Worksheet before you begin filling out the Handshake contract/application is VERY helpful. If you have any questions, please contact laura.rudolph@KWC.edu
