The Career Center on campus assists employers in locating interns by accessing a database of potential interns and setting up on-campus interviews and posting employment opportunities for students who then contact employers directly. Employers to get to know potential employees before hiring, allowing for more personal impressions than a resume alone would provide. This provides opportunity for company and student to match expectations and goals. Interviews can begin as early as 6-8 months prior to the internship experience. Third, prepare projects and tasks for the summer intern.
Supervision is the most important aspect for the intern program.
The supervision does not have to be limited to one person, but should be consistent throughout all areas. Help demonstrate to interns that their school experience and their work experience relate and function together. Be available to answer questions and provide guidance pertaining to career development and job possibilities to each area experienced. It is suggested that each company have one person be the internship coordinator to oversee the internship team, to provide consistency and develop the company internship program to be the best benefit to both the student and the company.
