Taken from ZU’s Intern Toolkit, top 10 list highlights crucial steps employers must take before interns arrive.
| 1. | Internal buy-in: Gaining full commitment from everyone involved, especially senior management, is critical to success. |
| 2. | Dedicated Program Manager: One qualified and whoelhearted person must assume responsibility for all aspects of the program. |
| 3. | Work Inventory: A full inventory of work, including “back-burner” tasks from various managers and areas.This defines recruitment goals, program metrics, resource needs, budgeting, and sets the stage to make interns most productive. |
| 4. | Budget/Resource Commitment: Determine the amount of work space needed, computers, other tools, recruitment costs, compensation and rewards/incentives. |
| 5. | Headcount: Determine how many interns you’ll need. Remember full-time students are usually only available in the summer. |
| 6. | Job description: Each position may require a unique set of qualifications so define specific responsibilities for each position. |
| 7. | Structure: Organize program materials into a binder or manual for each intern to utilize throughout the program. |
| 8. | Processes: Interns need clear guidance and structure to reduce anxiety and clarify expectations. |
| 9. | Training: The sooner employers build competency, the more productive students will be now and valuable later. |
| 10. | Continuous Improvement: Develop performance measurement and feedback tools that will yield insights needed to improve the program on an ongoing basis. |
