An internship is a great way to see how much potential a student or recent graduate has in the field. An interested candidate takes on an internship in hopes of accomplishing something to use on their resume or in future interviews. Give them real, meaningful work that will help your organization run smoother, accomplish more, or be more successful.
Hiring an intern helps spread the word about your company—whether you mean to or not. An intern should not be a replacement for a paid employee; however, they should have real goals and leave the opportunity with additional skills for their career.

Who will be my mentor and how will that process work? Will there be any professional development opportunities in this internship?
