Abstract

What is the value of a short-term, part-time, business-related student placement program (SPP) that uses a collaborative engagement approach as well as the application of the Gibbs reflective cycle from the students’ perspective? What are the benefits and limitations of participating in a SPP or internship from the small business owner/entrepreneur’s perspective? Our research studied 44 business students from Holmesglen Institute, and 74 small business owners/entrepreneurs. It found that Holmesglen Institute’s distinctive collaborative approach to its business SPP and students’ critical reflections result in benefits to both entrepreneurs and students. It can prepare students for their placement and assist in their career and entrepreneurial journey. This article extends the existing knowledge on the value and issues related to SPP or internship programs from the small business owner/entrepreneur’s perspective, and how current and future entrepreneurs learn.
