The Intern Training Program in the Learning Assistance Center (LAC) at California State University, Long Beach, represents a systematic training program for college reading/study skills specialists. The internship consists primarily of participants processing information on the rationale, operations, and procedures of a Learning Assistance Support System (LASS) and experiencing personal learning skills development through diagnosis and prescriptive exercises and materials. The training program is competency based. Some of the competency tasks require interns to become acquainted with various academic aids and catalogs available at the LAC; to understand the relationship of these aids to the LASS tutorial program; to participate in a county fair which is designed to orient potential users to LASS programs and equipment by doing; to familiarize themselves with all the hardware and software in the LAC; to take an audio tour of the university library; to assume responsibilities of a LAC aide, which include such tasks as opening and closing the center, familiarizing themselves with the LASS referral system, and attending two or more weekly staff meetings. Each of the competency tasks is briefly described at the end of the report. (TO)
