Dr. Taewon Kim: Racialized Poverty Among College Students
2024-04-09 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Researchers and career counselors have become increasingly interested in understanding college students’ experiences of poverty and identifying the role of paid internship opportunities in poverty experiences based on structural, cultural, and historical dynamics. Drawing from data from CCWT, Dr. Kim will explain multidimensional poverty and display different structures and natures of poverty that college students experience across racial identities. She will also explain if first-generation college students are more vulnerable to racialized poverty and if paid internship opportunities would alleviate poverty experiences and provide reflection questions and future directions highlighting ways to support invisible student groups with intersecting identities.

AERA 2024: Internships, Supervisory Styles, and Career Adaptability for College Students
2024-04-12 15:05 - 16:35 | AERA 2024
Changhee Lee, Vanderbilt University & Mindi Thompson, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Career adaptability has become increasingly important in the discourse on work-based learning and college students’ career development, given its potential link with lifelong vocational success. However, the impact of internships and specific supervisory styles on career adaptability remains underexplored. This study addresses the gap by exploring whether and how internships, considering qualities including autonomy, goal clarity, emotional support, and task-related mentoring, relate to interns’ career adaptability gains. Using Ordinary Least Squares regressions with two-wave survey data (N=847), we found that internships are associated with gains in the concern dimension of career adaptability. Additionally, higher autonomy and goal clarity significantly predict overall career adaptability gains among interns. These findings offer insights for designing effective internships that maximize professional growth and adaptability for college interns.
