Nonparticipant Screening Questions

>INTB< Does your company participate in a school-to-work program?
1 YES (84 observations or 18.0% of answers)
2 NO (384 observations or 82.0% of answers)
>IB1< Just to make sure, let me tell you what we mean by school-to-work programs.

In these programs, student interns work at a company while they go to school, and may stay for a semester or a year. They get school credit for this, and are sometimes paid. The company often supervises and trains the student, and gives the school an evaluation at the end. The students' work experience is usually coordinated with what they are learning in school.

Have you ever had or do you currently have any such student interns at your firm?

IF THE RESPONDENT ASKS ABOUT STUDENT TEACHERS, SAY "For the purposes of this study, we do not consider college students who are doing their teacher training to be interns."

IF THE RESPONDENT ASKS ABOUT MEDICAL INTERNS, SAY "For the purposes of this study, we do not consider medical students or graduates performing their residencies or receiving other advanced medical training to be interns."
1 YES (126 observations or 27.2%)
2 NO -> (begin interview) (338 observations or 72.8%)
>IB2< Let me just make sure that we're talking about the same thing.

We're not thinking about a one-day tour of your workplace, or a one-time job shadowing experience. What we're interested in is whether you've had student interns who were enrolled in a formal school program, where there was a program coordinator or teacher with whom you had some contact.

Is this the type of internship program you are thinking of?
