Subject: Interns?
Hi, Danika,
You may remember that some time ago our management team here at Bien talked about an internship program. The topic has come up again at this time, and I’m taking this opportunity to ask you to please answer some questions about whether this is a good idea or not. As our organization continues to expand, interns might make sense. But there are many points that we need to discuss, and I’ve put together a few questions that I think we should cover at the next management meeting. Please mark your calendar to meet on March 14 at 9 a.m. in the morning.
First, we really need to discuss whether an internship program is advantageous to us here at Bien. In addition, what are the disadvantages? Next, what are some of the ramifications legally of hosting an internship program here in our state? Another question that enters my mind is whether we should pay interns. Do they receive college credit instead? I wonder if that serves as satisfactory compensation. Finally, we need to discuss where this program would be launched within Bien. What departments would pilot such a program?
