Are you interested in having an IE3 Intern at
your organization? Click here for the contact
information of the regional director you should work with to establish
and promote an internship opportunity.
Any internship requires that we develop a position description and post
it on the IE3 website so that students and their
faculty advisors learn about the opporutnity. A position description includes
information about your organization, the duties the intern will carry
out, your expectations for skills and abilities the intern will bring,
and financial information (including a budget for local monthly expenses).
All interns earn credit on their home campus while they are abroad, so
the position description needs to be detailed enough for their professors
to understand why what they will be doing is worth academic credit. See
Creating an Internship for more information.
You will only receive information about interns who qualify based on your
own description of the requirements. The interns are screened at their
home campus and again by the regional director. The regional director
will work with you directly to determine which candidate(s) will be best.
Once you have made a decision on a candidate, the regional director will
put the intern in touch with you to finalize arrival details. The regional
director then oreints the intern on details such as organizational culture,
visa issues, health and safety, travel, and culture. Any information you
can provide to assist in the orientation will help the intern be more
effective. There is also information on our website for hosts working
with international interns. See Hosting
an Intern.
Once the intern arrives on site, you need to provide an orientation to
the workplace and have a workplan discussion with your intern. The workplan
will be the intern's guide for his or her internship. A good workplan
includes information about the tasks the intern will be responsible for,
resources that are available, and a timeline for completing the tasks.
See Orienting an Intern for more
information.
At the end of the internship, we need an evaluation of the intern. This
can be completed online (see Evaluating
an Intern).
If you have any questions about the selection process, hosting an intern,
or developing a position description, please contact the regional director.

x 11 inches) and A4 formats.
