Lessons Learned: Advice to Employers from Interns
Rothman, Miriam
Journal of Education for Business, v82 n3 p140-144 Jan-Feb 2007
In this article, the author reports the results of a content analysis based on the responses of 345 interns to the request for specific suggestions for how their employer could improve the experience for future interns enrolled in a for-credit business school internship class. The findings suggest that clarity of tasks, communication, and expectations around challenging assignments to be completed within a reasonable time frame accompanied by on-going feedback, mentoring, exposure to other parts of the business, and respectful treatment could improve internship effectiveness.
