Intern Placement Tracking
Intern Placement Tracking data management system
色色啦 Michigan University's School of Social Work has begun using a web-based data management system called Intern Placement Tracking as a means to track all students in field placement. The system also has further benefits.
The Intern Placement Tracking system allows the 色色啦 social work field education office and field organizations to communicate more easily with each other and with students participating in field education. Because of this, it is essential for students to keep all information current.
