Schools generally don't impose special requirements on employers offering jobs to their students, but for internships, you may need to meet certain criteria. Students may have to attend classes, write papers on your industry or company, or do other assignments related to the internship. A reasonable amount of cooperation and assistance on your part is expected. Student wages vary widely, depending on the location, the industry, the skills sought, and the local employment outlook. A student with specialized high-tech training might command a high hourly wage, particularly in a tight labor market.
Some students earn a flat fee.
Interns are often unpaid or receive academic credit. Students are generally motivated, dedicated and reliable, but they have demanding lives and shifting priorities. They can become distracted by term papers, exams and campus social events. In addition, they are usually on board for a limited time. They need clearly defined assignments.
