Intern Management
Principles for Designing an Exceptional Internship
One of the most intriguing challenges in any business or organization is the responsibility of managing a college or graduate student intern. It’s a perennial opportunity to tap into the new generation’s upsurging intentions, insights, creativity and vision. Historically there’s been minimal guidance to assist managers in creating and managing the intern experience.
As many of us have experienced, too often someone in a corporation, graduate school or other hosting organization is assigned an intern for the first time, and that person really doesn’t know how to properly approach the challenge. Even intern managers with past mentoring experience often don’t know the ins and outs of designing an exceptional internship program.
This book reduces the stress and uncertainty that an intern assignment can cause a manager. There are a number of key principles, guidelines and pragmatic steps that one can use in order to design an internship program that flows harmoniously, productively, and enjoyably for manager and intern alike.
