The following guidelines are provided to help the internship employer/mentor understand the requirements for managing a PSU IST Internship. If at any time, you have a question, please email the PSU Worthington Scranton IST Internship Coordinator.

Once you have accepted an intern please provide the following:

1. A mentor. This is someone who can guide the intern as they become accustomed to the business environment, enhance communication skills, and learn/sharpen IT skills.
   
   
2. Structure. Your intern will be required to fulfill a specific number of hours (ranging from 150 hours to 300 hours, depending on their course). Please take the time to provide an environment that allows them to become a productive member and absorb as many business lessons you can expose them to.
   
   
3. Evalutions. The only paper work you will be required to submit will be two(2) student intern evaluations.

   A Midpoint Student Evaluation
   This is an online evaluation that you will be requested to complete about half of the way thru the students internship.

   A Final Student Evaluation
   This is the final student evaluation that will be completed and SIGNED as a hard copy and submitted to the PSU Scranton IST Internship Coordinator.

• Follow-ups
  • During the internship you may get a call from the internship coordinator requesting the opportunity to speak with the interns mentor and possibly request a site visit. This is primarily to learn how we can make the internship program stronger.
    
    
• Building an on-going relationship
  • Ideally, we would like to see the intern do so well that you would love to have another fill their shoes after they complete their requirement. If you would like to learn how, please contact the PSU Worthington Scranton IST Internship Coordinator.
