Q&As

  1. How do you complete the pre-program and post-program evaluations?
    You'll receive an email with a link to complete the pre-program evaluation on your internship's first Tuesday, due by the end of that week. Similarly, you'll need to complete the post-program evaluation by the internship’s last day. This is essential for the intern to receive their Certificate of Program Completion or Academic Credit and for their final coaching session.
  2. What should you include in the mid-point check-in call?
    The mid-point check-in call with your CSE is a chance to discuss the intern's performance, including their successes and challenges. This valuable feedback opportunity allows you to identify areas for improvement and ensure a positive internship experience. Before the call, reflect on the intern's progress and prepare specific examples to illustrate their strengths and weaknesses.
