Overview

The Internships page holds information about students' internships that have been assigned. It is designed to work together with the Employers table. 


Also, the Internships page is being utilized to hold any Work-Based Learning data that is applicable for students, and all records that have the new Work-Based Learning Type field (ISP.WT) populated will be extracted for the new WBLR Extract for CALPADS EOY 4 reporting.

Add/Edit Internship Record - California

Options  

Values that are required for State Reporting will be populated in the dropdown lists as necessary. Otherwise, dropdown lists can be populated from the Update Code Page.

  • Start Date (ISP.SD): Date the record started
  • End Date (ISP.ED): Date the record ended. 
    • All records that either ended or started in the current school year will be included in the Work-Based Learning Records (WBLR) extract as part of the CALPADS EOY Submission.
