Sponsor's Responsibilities
In order to ensure the maximum benefits for both student interns and your organization, we ask that each professional supervisor accepts certain responsibilities and is required to:
-
Register with the School of Communications, UHM by submitting the Internship Site Request Form either online or by fax;
-
Sign and complete the Internship Agreement Form prior to the intern beginning the internship experience;
-
Introduce the intern to the organization and fellow employees, inform him/her of any safety and "Right to Know Issues," and provide training when needed;
-
Provide clear and specific job description, expectations and time schedules.
-
Assure that the intern has a meaningful learning experience, performing relevant entry-level work;
-
Create an atmosphere receptive to "supervised learning," whereby the intern can progress quickly with someone available to expect and encourage questions.
-
Include the intern in meetings and problem-solving sessions;
-
Keep the intern busy and directed towards his/her learning objectives;
-
Maintain an open channel of communication with regular meetings;
-
Complete and submit the Final Evaluation Form which can be download here. (The intern will also hand it to you along with the Internship Agreement Form).
Keep in mind that as a site supervisor, you are very important. You
are an essential ingredient in the success of the intern's learning
experience. The intern will look to you as a role model and learn
from your expertise as he/she applies and develops his/her skills
in the future. You personify the organization.
