Typical Four Weeks of Internship
(example)

• Week 1 - Interns begin the first day of work. The Program Coordinator contacts the company to see how the intern is adjusting.
  
• Week 2 - An Intern Progress Report is faxed to the sponsor to evaluate the intern's performance so far. If there are any problems with the job, this is the time to arrange a meeting with the Internship Coordinator.
  
• Week 3 - Continue to work on the job.
  
• Week 4 - An End Progress Report is faxed to the corporate sponsor to evaluate the intern's entire performance. The intern may be asked to share experiences with a new class of interns. A certificate and reference letter can be given.
