Supervision

To maximize the benefits of integrating one or more interns into your organization, it is necessary to be involved in the supervision of interns, although educational institutions also provide mentoring.

Specifically, the intern's supervisor is responsible for mentoring, guiding, advising and developing the intern's skills. He/she assigns them tasks and verifies that they are carried out correctly. At the end of the internship, it is generally expected that an intern work evaluation is completed by the supervisor.

A member of the university internship service personnel generally visits the intern once to ensure the successful execution of the internship. They assist the company in resolving any problems and serve as a resource person. At the university level, work placement supervisors also have access to a contact person. This support person is an instructor in the intern's program of study and provides the supervisor with observation and evaluation tools in addition to making a visit or visits as needed.
