Determine Your Need and Internship Structure

First determine what role your intern will take, and create a position description, similar to that of a job. The description should include requirements for applicants, application instructions and contact information. Determine the structure the internship will take, who will supervise the intern and what schedule you will expect an intern to keep. You will also want to make sure that the intern has office space and any resources they will need to work for you (computer, desk, software, tools, etc.)
