About EvaluateUR-Internship
EvaluateUR-Internship supports students participating in government, business, or industry internship experiences.
EvaluateUR-Internship, or E-Internship, helps students gain deeper self-awareness of their skills and problem-solving abilities by guiding them through reflective assessments related to their internship experiences.

- Skill development: The program focuses on developing skills that are valuable in the workplace, such as those related to analysis, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
- Improved metacognition: By encouraging self-reflection and analysis of their internship experiences, E-Internship aims to enhance users' metacognitive skills, which refer to their awareness and understanding of their own cognitive processes. This can lead to improved learning and problem-solving abilities.
