Students doesn’t necessarily have to stay as a TLT Consultant for the rest of their college career, or their time at TLT. They can choose to either become a Student Technologist, Site Manager or a part of Special Projects (See Roles in TLT tab). Before doing so, Consultants must first go through the TLT Internship.

The TLT Internship is available to qualified consultants who demonstrate an exceptional amount of hard work, ability to follow rules and understanding of how SINC Sites run. It’s a 3 credit course that requires effort and work each week. The internship also utilizes ePortfolios and SBYou blogs in order to build upon interns’ reflections and opinions. Plus, both are used to showcase to the general public.

Once you’re in the internship, you are required to have mentoring hours with our Site Managers and Student Technologists. In addition to this, you will have the opportunity to visit each and every SINC site and learn of the uniqueness and services each one of them provides.

Some benefits of being in the internship include getting connections to future careers, gaining more leadership experience, being able to delegate others, and improving your public speaking skills, etc. In addition to this, being in the internship also offers you the opportunity to create professional documentations, learn more about each SINC site and the programs we offer in more detail, and how to provide excellent customer service to others.

For example, one of the things current TLT Interns have learned is making presentations more appealing and eye-catching to the public. Some other things the current Senior Consultants have learned while in the internship are how to do scheduling, seeing certain programs, such as Blackboard, from a staff members’ perspective and editing content on different platforms/programs. Once in the internship, interns will get a staff’s perspective in some of the services we provide and be allowed to work with it. In addition to this, interns get a glimpse of the what’s behind the curtains of TLT.
