When you hire a student to fill an Internship position, the student is responsible for providing you with any paperwork needed for the student to receive academic credit.

Internships tend to increase regular employee motivation and productivity. Hiring interns frees up regular employees from minor or routine tasks and allows these employees to concentrate on more challenging or sophisticated projects.
