Taken from ZU’s Intern Toolkit, top 10 list highlights crucial steps employers must take before interns arrive.

1.	Internal buy-in: Gaining full commitment from everyone involved, especially senior management, is critical to success.
2.	Dedicated Program Manager: One qualified and whoelhearted person must assume responsibility for all aspects of the program.
3.	Work Inventory: A full inventory of work, including “back-burner” tasks from various managers and areas.This defines recruitment goals, program metrics, resource needs, budgeting, and sets the stage to make interns most productive.
4.	Budget/Resource Commitment: Determine the amount of work space needed, computers, other tools, recruitment costs, compensation and rewards/incentives.
5.	Headcount: Determine how many interns you’ll need. Remember full-time students are usually only available in the summer.
6.	Job description: Each position may require a unique set of qualifications so define specific responsibilities for each position.
7.	Structure: Organize program materials into a binder or manual for each intern to utilize throughout the program.
8.	Processes: Interns need clear guidance and structure to reduce anxiety and clarify expectations.
9.	Training: The sooner employers build competency, the more productive students will be now and valuable later.
10.	Continuous Improvement: Develop performance measurement and feedback tools that will yield insights needed to improve the program on an ongoing basis.
