Ohio Means Internships & Co-ops – Metrics & Fiscal Reporting

Facilitated Discussion - Where are we going?– What do you need to ensure your program success? What role can the

state play in this?

– How best we can learn, share expertise, and collaborate between and among co-op and internship programs?

– What aspects of the work-integrated learning programs need to be addressed to ensure quality for students? For employers? For educators? For the state?

– What is needed to build long-term sustainability beyond the life of the grant?

– Thinking about the questions and discussions, how might the initiatives be carried out in the next 6-12 months?

– How might they be undertaken in 2014 and beyond?
