What is being asked My thoughts/answer on the question

1. How does the movie illustrate the
concept of a student apprenticeship
program, and what key components of
such a program can be identified
through the experiences of the
characters in the film?
In the movie “The Internship” (2013), the concept of a student
apprenticeship program is illustrated through the experiences of two older
interns who join Google. The key components of such a program seen in the
film include learning opportunities, mentorship from Google employees,
teamwork in diverse groups, overcoming challenges, building professional
networks, and adapting to new technology and company culture.

2. In "The Internship," are preparatory
activities for the internship at Google
portrayed? Can you identify any
similarities or differences between
these activities and those typically
associated with student apprenticeship
programs in real-life scenarios?
In “The Internship,” preparatory activities for the internship at
Google are not prominently portrayed. The film mainly focuses on the
characters’ experiences during their time at Google, rather than showing
their preparation.
In real-life student apprenticeship programs, there are usually
preparatory activities like orientation sessions, training workshops, and
onboarding processes to familiarize students with the workplace and
expectations. These activities aim to provide a structured introduction to the
program and may involve paperwork, safety training, and introductions to
mentors or supervisors.

So, the main difference is that the movie skips over these
preparatory steps, while real-life apprenticeship programs often include them
to ensure a smooth transition into the program.

3. What role does the character of Mr. Mr. Chetty, played by Aasif Mandvi, is like a boss at Google who
Chetty (played by Aasif Mandvi) play in keeps an eye on how well the interns are doing their job. This is a lot like how
monitoring the interns' performance at a monitoring system works in a student apprenticeship program. He checks
Google? How does his involvement their work, gives them advice, and makes sure they are meeting the
align with the idea of a monitoring
system in a student apprenticeship
program?
4. Throughout the movie, Owen
Wilson's character, Nick Campbell, and
Vince Vaughn's character, Billy
McMahon, interact with various
mentors and colleagues at Google.
How do these interactions reflect the
professional relationship between
apprentices and expert professionals in
the context of student apprenticeship
programs?
5. Toward the end of the film, there is a
competition among the interns at
Google, and their performance is
evaluated. How does this evaluation
process in the movie relate to the
significance of uniform evaluation
methods in student apprenticeship
programs, particularly in terms of
assessing program objectives and
outcomes effectively?
program’s goals, just like a supervisor in a real apprenticeship program would.
In the movie, Nick and Billy interact with mentors and colleagues at
Google in a way that reflects the professional relationship between
apprentices and expert professionals in student apprenticeship programs.
They seek guidance, learn from their more experienced colleagues, and
collaborate on tasks, mirroring how apprentices typically learn from and work
alongside seasoned professionals in real-life apprenticeship programs. These
interactions emphasize the importance of mentorship and learning from
experts in a professional setting.
The evaluation process at the end of the movie, where interns
compete and are assessed, shows the importance of having consistent
evaluation methods in student apprenticeship programs. This ensures that
program objectives and outcomes are measured fairly and effectively. Just
like in the film where everyone competes under the same rules, uniform
evaluation methods help ensure that all apprentices are evaluated using the
same criteria, making it easier to gauge how well the program is meeting its
goals.
