Internship Supervisors
Questions and answers
You should assign meaningful work that supports your needs and reflects the intern’s academic field of study or career interests. You should not assign, as an intern’s primary duties, simple administrative or clerical tasks, such as scanning documents or data entry. If you hired a summer intern, you could assign work of a project-oriented nature or limited duration. Summer interns should primarily work on completing temporary projects or on performing labor-intensive tasks that do not require subject-matter expertise.
