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.
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.
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.
Let your Micro-Intern know your preferred method for receiving questions. Emails? Shared document? Scheduled check-in meetings? It's up to you.
SHARE FEEDBACK
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.
