Planning Considerations
Interns are a wonderful means of adding value to your work teams and getting important projects off the back burner. Smart planning upfront ensures successful internships:
- Availability of intern projects as matched to
your workload/business cycle.
- Adequate support, including office space,
staff support and financial resources.
- Job description, eligibility/application
requirements, hours and compensation
structures.
- Meaningful assignments that challenge
the intern and provide value to you.
- Appropriate inclusion in organizational
events, staff meetings or other business
activities.
- On-the-job training opportunities with
measurable learning objectives or evaluation.
- Appointment of a seasoned, supervisory staff
member who values the intern investment.
