Paid Internships? Under the Department of Labor - Fair Labor Standards Act, and pursuant to the August 10, 2010 memo to HR Directors and CEOs of companies from the CBPA Dean [PDF] the subject of unpaid internships by the private sector has been addressed. Considering our obligation, we encourage for-profit companies to offer a paid internship.

Next: Interviews, Selection & Notification
STEP FOUR: As you receive student responses with their
resumes and cover letters, contact them directly to schedule
an interview.

Webb at abecerri@csusb.edu with the name of the student,
their phone number and e-mail address. Direct students

The Internship Experience: Beginning to End
STEP SIX: The selected student is to notify the CBPA Internship Office, and follow the procedures to be enrolled in a 575 or 675 internship course. There are 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 (Business Evaluation Form) 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 contact the CBPA Internship Office at 909/537-3581.
We wish both of you a great internship experience!
