STEP SIX: The selected student is to notify the CBPA Internship Office, and follow the procedures to be enrolled in a 575 internship course. There are a some forms required with the internship course, including a few for you as the supervisor to complete (two needed at the beginning, and one at the end of the project). Your intern will provide you with these forms, as well as turn them in to us.

You can then discuss a start date with your intern (keeping in mind the quarter start date). It's also important that you provide an orientation meeting with your intern, as well as an overview of their agreed upon schedule and their assignments. Also conduct a brief verbal review mid-way through the internship period to let the intern know how they're doing.

STEP SEVEN: During the 8th week, the student will remind you to complete the supervisor's evaluation to have ready by the 9th week. Also, meet briefly with your intern to wrap up any project details by the end of the 10th week. That's it!

If you still have a question to any of the above information, you're welcomed to email us by clicking HERE, or contacting the CBPA Internship Office at 909/537-3581.

We wish both of you a great internship experience!
