IO7. IN4SOC toolkit to implement SOC internships in Technical Universities

IO7 delivers the toolkit of practices to implement SOC internships in Technical Universities, considering all steps of an internship but paying special attention to the design and assessment of socio-civic competences. The toolkit focuses on examples of best practices documented from the SOC internships during the project, in the academic years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021.

The case studies, selected for their distinguished implementation, will be summarized according to selected elements, including the knowledge area in which the internship has been framed (e.g. chemistry, architecture), socio-civic-environment target domain (in line with the results from IO1), social responsibility objectives addressed, outcomes, student performance following the rubric, impact of the internship, competences acquired and lessons learned. In addition, links to the relevant intellectual outputs for implementing the internships will be provided, i.e. the rubric and guides (IO4), as well as the templates for partnering with organizations (IO1).

This Intellectual Output implies the completion of the following tasks:

  1. Defining a monitoring protocol for the pilot SOC internships
  2. Compiling relevant case studies and best practices
  3. Developing a toolkit to optimize the implementation of SOC internships in Technical Universities

The toolkit is the reference document for any University or Organization wishing to be part of the IN4SOC network:

  • Inspiring organizations and universities for an optimal design of the SOC internship
  • Providing useful and accessible documentation for any University or Organization wishing to be part of the IN4SOC network.
  • Increasing the interest in the IN4SOC project and opportunities
