How much supervision and mentoring do interns need?
Interns are Junior and Senior high school students who receive direct supervision and extensive mentoring at their internships. A rubric for success that doubles as a ‘pledge’ is signed by both student interns and mentors at the beginning of the internship to ensure the objective of the internship is clear.
How many days a week do interns work?
Internships are eight weeks per cycle. Interns attend three times a week for a total of 12 hours on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or twice a week for a total of eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday.
How many student interns are hosted at each internship site?
Depending on the the number of mentors available at your internship site, you may have one or more interns.
We work with small companies that prefer a one-on-one mentor-student relationship as well as large organizations with multiple mentors capable of hosting half a dozen students at a time.
