STRUGGLES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN ONLINE INTERNSHIP: SOCIAL WORK GRADUATES IN FOCUSAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This study explored the lived experiences of social work graduates in online internship brought
upon the COVID-19 pandemic. These include the challenges they faced and how they coped up with it, the
opportunities that were provided to them that the traditional internship cannot offer and their personal insights
that are essential to the academic community. A qualitative phenomenological study was carried involving 10
social work graduates from Davao City's select five colleges and universities. They had their online internship
in the year 2020 – 2021 at the height of the pandemic. Data were collected through a semi-structured in-depth
interview using open-ended interview guide. Participants were chosen through homogenous purposive
sampling. Data analysis was done using Colaizzi’s 7-step method. Results revealed 12 themes addressing the
study objectives. As for challenges encountered: uncertainty on the plans, challenging interactions with clients
and tough realities; for coping mechanisms: self-preparations, exercise of prudence and designing interventions
for clients; for the opportunities offered: ongoing guidance from field instructors, autonomy and going beyond
social service in meeting the needs of the client; and for the personal insights of the participants: mismatching
exposure, innovation and sense of professionalism in applying the learnings gained in online internship.
Implications of the findings are presented in the paper.

This document discusses measuring the impact and return on investment for corporate social investment programs. It notes that there is increasing pressure from funders to demonstrate the effectiveness of programs. Impact can be measured prospectively, ongoing, and retrospectively to inform investment decisions. Key applications include determining whether projected costs and benefits indicate a favorable investment, aiding course correction during implementation, and informing future decisions by looking back at costs and outcomes. Impact should be measured across economic, social, and environmental dimensions over time. Challenges include determining the appropriate indicators and evaluating intangible impacts, but overall impact measurement can provide accountability and help improve development effectiveness.

Job Opportunities and condition in Bangladesh:istiuq ahmed
Employment provides the key link between economic growth and poverty reduction in Bangladesh. While the country's economy has grown, only a small number of formal jobs have been created between 2000-2006. Most people work in informal jobs or as unpaid family workers, especially women. While educational attainment has increased over time, nearly half of women and 40% of men still have no education. Universities, employers, and individuals all share responsibility in developing the professional skills needed for the job market, but Bangladesh still struggles with matching workers' education levels to available jobs.
This document discusses teaching statistics to adult learners in graduate programs. It argues that statistics is often taught with too much focus on mathematical processes and not enough on interpretation of results to inform decision making. For adult learners who are mid-career professionals, interpretation is more useful than learning formulas they will not use. The document presents results of a modified statistics course for public administrators that minimized mathematics and focused on interpretation. Students reported being more satisfied and believing it would help understand statistical analysis in their work. The document recommends changing statistics curriculum and teaching methods to better serve the needs of adult learners seeking immediate application, not theory, from their education.

Work life balance practices on employee job performance at eco bank kenyaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on how work-life balance practices at Eco Bank Kenya affect employee job performance. The study examined flexible working hours, employee assistance programs, and leave policies. The results showed that flexible work hours helped employees balance work and personal commitments and improved attendance and motivation. Employee assistance programs, such as health programs and counseling, helped employees handle personal issues and improved attendance and commitment. Leave policies were found to motivate employees and improve attendance, emotional health, and ability to perform job duties. In general, employees rated their job performance positively across factors like timeliness, meeting deadlines, priorities, and attendance.
The document describes the ABCD model for program evaluation. The model has four components: A) beneficiaries or clients of the program, B) the program itself, C) effects or outcomes of the program, and D) social impact. An example study is described that uses the ABCD model to evaluate a Botika ng Barangay (BnB) or community drugstore program. The study assesses the program's contributions to community health, savings, and living standards. The evaluation finds positive effects including reduced health expenditures and improved health outcomes.
The paper investigates factors that influence student performance in online and campus-based courses as measured by final course grade. It focuses on the relationship between e-learning tools (like discussion forums and chats) and performance. The paper studies how perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and ability to work independently correlate with course grade. It finds that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and ability to work independently significantly predict grade. The paper aims to explore how e-learning tools affect performance, rather than compare online to campus-based courses.

Social Work Research: Planning a Program Evaluation
Joan is a social worker who is currently enrolled in a social work PhD program. She is planning to conduct her dissertation research project with a large nonprofit child welfare organization where she has worked as a site coordinator for many years. She has already approached the agency director with her interest, and the leadership team of the agency stated that they would like to collaborate on the research project.
The child welfare organization at the center of the planned study has seven regional centers that operate fairly independently. The primary focus of work is on foster care; that is, recruiting and training foster parents and running a regular foster care program with an emphasis on family foster care. The agency has a residential program as well, but it will not participate in the study. Each of the regional centers services about 45–50 foster parents and approximately 100 foster children. On average, five to six new foster families are recruited at each center on a quarterly basis. This number has been consistent over the past 2 years.
Recently it was decided that a new training program for incoming foster parents would be used by the organization. The primary goals of this new training program include reducing foster placement disruptions, improving the quality of services delivered, and increasing child well-being through better trained and skilled foster families. Each of the regional centers will participate and implement the new training program. Three of the sites will start the program immediately, while the other four centers will not start until 12 months from now. The new training program consists of six separate 3-hour training sessions that are typically conducted in a biweekly format. It is a fairly proceduralized training program; that is, a very detailed set of manuals and training materials exists. All trainings will be conducted by the same two instructors. The current training program that it will replace differs considerably in its focus, but it also uses a 6-week, 3-hour format. It will be used by those sites not immediately participating until the new program is implemented.
Joan has done a thorough review of the foster care literature and has found that there has been no research on the training program to date, even though it is being used by a growing number of agencies. She also found that there are some standardized instruments that she could use for her study. In addition, she would need to create a set of Likert-type scales for the study. She will be able to use a group design because all seven regional centers are interested in participating and they are starting the training at different times.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. First Destination Survey – Class of 2010
Launched for the first time in 2007 by the Alumni Relations and Career Services team, the First
Destination Survey is part of our commitment to assessing our students’ career path after graduation
and their overall satisfaction with our services. We are offering CEU fresh graduates the chance to tell
us about their career and academic activities, and share personal perspectives. The survey is
distributed to fresh graduates of no less than six months after graduation in order to give them some
time to start establishing themselves in the professional world and pursue their goals.
The community benefits from this surveu in a number of ways:
- existing students get a glimpse of “life after CEU”: the challenges and the prospects
- prospective students get a clear perspective of the value of a year or more spent at CEU
- the Alumni Relations and Career Services Team receives quantifiable feedback in order to
further develop and improve our services to satisfy the real needs of the community
- potential employers are accurately targeted so that we may effectively promote talented CEU
candidates on the job market
The data is based on an analysis of the responses to the First Destination Survey – Class of 2010 collected by a web-based
survey in December 2010. The report is intended as a short summary of the most interesting results from the online survey. It
was created for the internal use of CEU members.

Note: According to the European Student Barometer 2010, an annual survey covering 24 European countries
and incorporating more than 220,000 responses, the students of Hungarian universities expect to submit an
average of 28.9 applications before securing a job after graduation. When asked about the “expected timeframe
of application process in months,” responses by Hungarian students varied between 4 to 7 months. Comparing
the data collected from the CEU First Destination Surveys (2008-10) with the data from other Hungarian
institutions or from other European countries, the results are very favorable to CEU graduates in regards to the
duration of their job search after graduation.

the respondents to discover further study opportunities beyond CEU. In 19.4 % of the cases, the information
was found via CEU Career Services announcements or from alumni. This figure shows that the number of
graduates who have found new academic prospects with the help of the CEU Career Services Office and
alumni has tripled since last year. This ratio coincides with that of graduates who have found a job using CEU
Career Services and the alumni network. We are pleased to reflect the continuous improvement of our Alumni

Presentations, Workshops, Individual Consultations and the CEU Resume Book also ranked among the
most popular career services.
This year, 39.2% of respondents submitted a resume for the CEU Resume Book and 10% of them were directly
contacted by employers, who had found their profiles in the book. This figure is growing from year to year and the
CEU Career Services office is continuously improving the promotion of CEU student profiles on the international
job market.
Respondents reported a few different reasons why they did not take full advantage of CEU Career Services while
they were students:
“Lack of time; I was focused on my studies”
“Did not need the service because I was already employed/ I wanted to continue my studies (PhD)”
“I was not aware of this service/program”

Feedback and suggestions
At the end of the 2010 First Destination Survey, we invited respondents to give “a piece of advice” on how the
CEU Alumni Relations and Career Services team can improve services for students, alumni and employers. We
received 81 constructive comments, which we have made our priorities in the further development of career-
oriented services for students and alumni at CEU.
We would like to thank all survey participants who shared their information and feedback and made this report
possible. We wish you all the best in your personal and professional endeavors after CEU!
