Jackie Debusschere
Jackie has taken on the role of Training Coordinator. Jackie is assisting with obtaining all internal and external MDCR trainings. All trainings will be branded and/or updated. Remember to get all trainings to Jackie as soon as possible.
Jackie also coordinates the MDCR Intern Program. MDCR's Intern Program officially launched in March. In order to offer internships, departments were required to submit a list of job responsibilities and educational requirements as well as complete a Division/Office Intern Plan which outlined how each division would provide a meaningful education experience for students in the program. All internship opportunities are posted on NEOGOV, the state's online job search portal, and applications are submitted through this website. Each internship duration is for one semester only and will be reposted for each subsequent semester moving forward. This summer, we will begin networking with local colleges to promote our Intern Program in addition to sharing on NEOGOV.
During an internship at MDCR, all interns participate in an orientation, receive two emailed surveys at 30 days and 60 days to measure successes and opportunities as well as provide feedback, receive a progress report from their managers half way through their internship, and complete an exit interview during their last week.
We currently have six interns for the summer semester in the program - two in communications, two in the legal office, one in the executive office and one in the equity office, with more interns being added for the Division on Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing and Community Engagement in the coming weeks.
