This document provides guidance on designing a successful internship program, including orienting interns to the company, defining clear time and salary expectations, and keeping interns engaged in their initial days to prevent them from quitting. It also advises employers not to expect interns to do the work of regular employees, as interns can only assist and are there to learn. The overall message is how to structure an internship to provide value to both the interns and the company.
