Before hiring an intern, evaluate your organization's ability to provide meaningful work assignments and invest time in interns through training and supervision. As beneficial as an intern may be for your organization you must also consider the opportunity the intern will have to learn and excel at what he or she will be doing.

Begin by locating a site supervisor that would enjoy and benefit from working with an intern. Please assign a staff member who is committed to and capable of supervising and mentoring to be the site supervisor. Although optional, you should also consider your ability to provide financial support (salary, stipends, gas money, etc.) and work space. To ensure the highest quality learning experience for UVU interns, we request that site supervisors are professionals in the field and have background in the intern's learning objectives.

After you have hired an intern, they may be required by their adacemic department to complete documentation regarding the internship experience.

1. The site supervisor will be asked to review and endorse the Internship Learning Agreement a statement outlining the intern's learning objectives.
2. The site supervisor may also receive a scheduled visit from the UVU Department Internship Coordinator for a brief discussion regarding the details of the intern's coursework as it pertains to the employer.

At this point the intern should be fully incorporated, performing his/her duties under your employ. At the midpoint and end of the semester, the site supervisor will submit a Performance Evaluation to the Department Internship Coordinator.
