Description

Public institutions of higher education; degree programs; integration of internship or work-based learning experiences; policies. Directs the governing board of each public institution of higher education to adopt policies requiring that participation in an internship or work-based learning experience be integrated into a student's degree program so as not to extend the time to complete the degree. The bill directs the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia to convene a work group for the purpose of making recommendations on the development, adoption, and implementation of the policies required pursuant to the bill. The bill requires the work group to submit its recommendations to the Chairmen of the House Committee on Education and the Senate Committee on Education and Health by June 30, 2024. The bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2025, contingent upon a determination by the work group convened pursuant to the bill that the adoption of such policies is logistically and fiscally viable for each public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth.
