INTERN Dear Intern: Career Services is very happy that you're preparing yourself for a marketable future! This letter is designed to help you establish your credit-based internship. You need to both register for credit with a Special Course Approval/Registration Form and fill out a Learning Contract. Here are the steps that you are responsible to initiate for your internship: 1. Complete a Learning Contract with your Site-Supervisor before you begin your internship. Discuss with your work-site supervisor the learning objectives and the specific activities for which you will be supervised. 2. Meet with your faculty advisor to get a permission slip to register for credit. Make an appointment with the internship faculty advisor in your academic department (see page 2). Discuss the objectives and activities on the Learning Contract so your advisor will understand the structure of your learning experience. Your advisor will determine an appropriate assignment for you to complete, the number of credits to issue and will give you a signed permission slip to register. You cannot register for an internship through EagleNet! Upon approval, transfer your registration information onto the Learning Contract. Sign the Learning Contract and have your work-site supervisor and your internship faculty advisor sign as well before returning it to the Internship Office. 3. Participate in a midterm (4th week) and final (8th week) evaluation with your work-site supervisor. Make sure your supervisor completes the evaluations and returns them at the required time. (see below) 4. Fill out a site evaluation upon completion of your internship. Your feedback is valuable to insure students continue to have quality internship experiences. In addition to your faculty internship advisor, I am your main internship contact.

Tips for Success Learn to listen properly to those around you; take the time to comprehend fully and assimilate their requests or instructions. Ask questions or research answers if you’re not sure so as not to proceed in error. Be prompt in getting reports or assignments finished. Be professional in your interaction Be professional in your interaction with your co-workers and supervisor. Maintain a positive attitude with the less desirable tasks associated with your job.

The information in this packet will help guide you through the different aspects of supervising an EWU intern. However, it is your expertise and involvement that will help ensure the intern’s successful experience. Please assist the intern in the following three areas: 1. Develop objectives and activities and record these on the Learning Contract. Discuss with your intern the learning objectives for the internship and specific activities, which you will oversee. We have provided the intern with a rough draft of the Learning Contract to record this information on. The intern will then discuss the structure of the internship with a faculty advisor to gain approval. Once the objectives and activities have been agreed upon, the intern will present you with an official Learning Contract for your signature. 2. Instruct and supervise the intern to achieve the learning objectives. Help the intern feel like a member of your team. This can be achieved by a comprehensive orientation. Tour the work-site with your intern to identify locations such as rest rooms, parking, meeting rooms, etc. Introduce the intern to co-workers and acquaint the intern with your policies and procedures. Furnish the intern with a work station and the necessary supplies. Be sure to provide the intern with a progression of assignments so the objectives stated on the Learning Contract can be achieved. 3. Evaluate the intern’s performance with a midterm (4th week) and final (8th week) evaluation.

This may be the intern’s first exposure to a non-academic performance appraisal. Some guidelines follow: Midterm evaluation - By this point, you have had the opportunity to observe the intern’s potential. On this form, indicate the intern’s strengths and weaknesses.
