DESCRIPTION:This seminar presents student experiences during a semester lo
 ng internship journey where self-reflections on teaching\, leadership\, pr
 ofessional identity\, future ‘ self' and strategies for bridging the gap
  between theory and practice are all discussed. Student stories paint a pi
 cture of a future professional and reveal new perspectives to better infor
 m the successful transition to work. Results show that students move throu
 gh multiple domains of identity during the internship and the curation of 
 evidence (and the accompanying narrative) presented in their portfolio fos
 ters experiential learning outcomes. Therefore\, reorienting learning for 
 career relevance is important to enable the development of essential\, tra
 nsferable skills such as leadership\, communication\, teamwork\, workplace
  negotiation and problem solving. \n\n*JENNIFER ROWLEY*\, PhD\, is an Asso
