2. Where will you put the intern? Do you have adequate workspace for them? Will you help make parking arrangements, living arrangements, etc.?

3. What sort of academic background and experience do you want in an intern? Decide on standards for quality beforehand — it’ll help you narrow down the choices and find the best candidates.

4. Who will have the primary responsibility for the intern? Will that person be a mentor or merely a supervisor?

5. What will the intern be doing? Be as specific as possible. Interns, like others in the process of learning, need structure so they don’t become lost, confused or bored.

6. Do you want to plan a program beyond the work you give your interns? Field of study Average hourly wage
