ADS Internships

What do I need to do find an ADS255 field placement site?

All students seeking to enroll in ADS255 Internship Field Practicum must meet with Ginger Dammann (dammang@sunysuffolk.edu) during the previous semester for advisement on how to successfully complete that process.

This advisement will include but not limited to:

· Degree works review

· Cover letter writing

· Resume writing

· Field placement approved OASAS treatment program
   selection  

· Intern interview preparation

· Appropriate casual business attire

· What to do when you are offered an internship placement

· Required internship work hours (270 clock hours)

· Required ADS255 classroom supervision hours (30 hours)

· How to complete the Internship Agency Acceptance Form

· How to provide field placement supervisor with your SCCC  monthly time sheets

· How to provide a midpoint evaluation and a final evaluation form for them to sign.   Students will also sign these documents to submit to the ADS 255 course instructor.

Please note: You will need to follow the field site agency’s human resources requirements, including health information and a background check before you can be approved to begin your field placement work. That is why it is best to start the process early as this can sometimes take several weeks to complete.
