Internship Program Help: Hi Everyone! I’ve never worked for a company with any type of internship program at all, let alone a really successful one. My new company thrives off our internship program, with many of our managers/directors having started as one themselves. I’d like to create more of a structure to this program but not even really sure where to begin. Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?

Depends on the role you are trying to create.

There are two types:

The paper pushers - the ones that need you to do all the menial work that the regular e.ployees don't want to do. Typical to filing and faxing, sorting etc.

The one that actually has value- has lots of structure and meaning to what you studied in school and would help you land an actual real job. You may also step in for those who take vacations during the summer, but a real and vetted internship has a lot of thought and responsibility that is within your limitations as an entry level person.

Sit down with your managers and have a talk about their vision for the role, and most importantly if the students receive pay. Many internships are non paid. Also if there is room to grow after the 4-6 month period.

Is this a summer internship program company wide or outside of this period? If it's summer based, most start around April To may and end in September to accomodate school breaks.

What performance/ metrics are currently in place to measure how well they are doing ?
We would need further info to help you

How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
