How to create a successful internship program

We all know the value of an internship. It’s also a great recruiting tool for companies. Here are ideas for creating a rewarding internship program.

Discuss goals: It’s important to discuss goals and expectations, as you would with any other employee, making a valuable experience for both you and the student.

Integrate team members: An intern should get to know the entire company. Have them work with colleagues in other departments for a full picture.

Create evaluations and surveys: These tools give you a chance to share constructive feedback and the student an opportunity to share feedback on the experience.
