Employers must have a process in place to onboard their intern, establish a work plan, supervise, guide and evaluate the work that the intern is conducting. This includes having a designated intern supervisor who is committed to guiding and supporting the intern throughout their experience. This person should have supervisory experience and ideally have subject-matter expertise in the field that the intern will be working.

If employers do not have their own tools developed for onboarding, setting workplans or conducting performance evaluations, they should refer to the Career Launcher resources page.
