It is important to note that all students are served on a first come first serve basis. The McNabb Center is a highly sought after placement for students looking to advance their field-work experience. We appreciate the opportunity to guide students and give them the opportunity to learn from our skilled and knowledgeable staff. However, not all students that apply can be guaranteed a placement at the McNabb Center.*

Orientation & Onboarding

After being accepted into a placement, all students are required to participate in Student Orientation. During orientation, students will complete online training, have a badge made, and will be oriented to the Center as a whole and the time for this process is typically allowed to go toward internship hours. All programs that accept students require various levels of background checks, some requiring these to be completed prior to onboarding. Additionally, some program require reference checks and fingerprinting. Please note: if fingerprinting is required, we do so to check criminal records with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Students are not permitted to transport clients at any point during their internship.

If you have question, please contact Jessi.bodenhamer@mcnabb.org.

*Because it is a competitive environment, it is important to know that the McNabb Center does not have specific student placement opportunities each semester. As students apply for placement, McNabb Center staff members are given the opportunity to accept or decline students as they determine availability and fit for their program. Additionally, some internships require levels of supervision that may not be available that semester.
