I’m going to be requesting an intern for our Salesforce team, and i need to put down what sort of activities they would be doing. I would think building reports, creating objects and fields, and updating page layouts are a good start - is there anything else you would think to ask a Salesforce intern to do?

Documentation, ERDs from the schema builder, change logs, permissions and password resets, etc.

Documentation and note taking, maybe some reporting. You probably shouldn’t have interns altering your database unless you know you have time to go back and double check all of it

like

Agreed! Reports and dashboards, even if they’re just running pre-existing ones, can be a finicky component to work with if you don’t know what you’re doing. Just make certain some prerequisite Trailhead modules are done prior, and if you’re going to have them actually generate them they should have their superbadge (unless you have internal curated training).

Commenters so far showing their age saying avoid objects. You obviously would have them in a sandbox and be double checking their work before promoting.

This in mind, basic object/field level changes are one of the easiest bodies of work to review and fix.

like

Correct, we would have them work in one of their dev environments before even promoting to our full sandbox. And we would probably tell them “create this field on this object with this leve of security”, so we would give them full direction. Almost like what the admin assist function with Salesforce Support used to be.

I probably wouldn't start with objects? That's the bones of your relational database.
Data cleanup, dedupe, case work (like password resets, etc), audit field usage, reporting, dashboards. I'm sure you have a data debt to some team, have them talk with those stakeholders and help dog out of it.

Dog = dig

Interns are great to give a sandbox and have them install a app exchange product and test it. Providing feedback for how it could be used or what to test for business requirements.

Also to update your sandbox creation guide
