Great Projects for your Intern
“Stratford University was a
very good experience for me.
They guided me straight to
my degree and placed me
directly in my field in a short
amount of time. The teachers
were great and they worked
around my schedule.”
Not sure if you have enough projects
to bring on an intern? Keep in mind
all the projects and ideas you have,
but never seem to have time to
complete. Interns bring up-to-date
skills, fresh ideas and energy to bring
those to fruition.
Consider these type of projects:
Compile data
Organize store/stockroom
Create and manage a blog
Design a social media campaign
Coordinate an event
Cleaning & Prepping

10 Tips for Mentoring Millennials
Millennials tend to prefer high-touch relationships, have high exploratory drives, and are
accustomed to being assessed as individuals. David Porush, CEO of MentorNet, offers 10
tips for mentoring this generation of college students and graduates:
1) Employ reverse mentoring—A
mentor is most effective when he
or she listens to the mentee, as
well. Millennials have valuable
skills, knowledge, and experience
from which you can learn.
2) Push back, set boundaries, and
check reality—Mentoring is not
parenting, coaching, teaching, or
supervising. It is, however, a little
bit of all of these. It’s important to
set clear boundaries and
expectations.
3) Set tasks and expectations
frequently and explicitly—Have
specific and concrete projects for
your mentee to work on and set
goals for him or her to reach.
5) Collaborate and personalize
contact—Millennials prefer
high-touch relationships. Carve
out space in the time you devote
to your mentee to work on
something together, whether it’s a
resume, a scientific problem, or a
job-related question
6) Focus interests on work—
Encourage your mentee’s
exploratory drive, but show how
it can be connected to and channeled into exciting work. The
temptation is for a mentor to say,
“That’s not how it’s done here.”
That approach can suppress
natural enthusiasm and creativity.
Let your mentee’s enthusiasm
flow, but not overflow.
8) Share insight into generational
differences—Understand and
impart to your mentee your insight into the differences—from
perceptions to attitudes—among
the various generations in the
workplace.
9) Embrace the triple bottom
line—Millennials like to see that
their employer is not only
successful from a business
standpoint, but that it also is
socially conscious and sees work
as a conduit for personal
fulfillment.
10) Network the learning—In the
workplace, everything is
networked and collaborative, and
4) Provide constant feedback, not 7) Discuss online reputation and an individual’s fate is tied to other
