As a Micro-Internship supervisor, you’re in a unique position to help your Micro-Intern develop professional competencies that will benefit them throughout their career. 

Your Micro-Intern will reach out to you to set up an initial meeting. During this meeting, they have been encouraged to set SMART goals for the project and establish a schedule for checking in.

SMART Goals Guide

Explain to your Micro-Intern how you intend to use their project. This context will not only be valuable professional knowledge, but will also help them deliver a final product that best meets your needs.

Why context matters

Establish deadlines with your Micro-Intern on when you want to receive and review completed deliverables. This helps ensure that they are executing it to your satisfaction and on time.

How to set clear expectations

If issues arise, be specific about what needs improvement and offer examples. This will help the Micro-Intern make adjustments and meet your expectations.

When the project is completed, you can give more feedback about the Micro-Intern's overall performance.
