Prior to Leaving on Internship Experience

 

Note:  This process can be viewed at http://www.byui.edu/careerservices/internships/registrationprocess.asp.

 

1.   Find an internship opportunity.  You can begin your search at http://www.byui.edu/internships.

 

2.   Interview with Bro. Fisher about your proposed internship.

 

3.   Complete and submit the Initial Internship Approval form.  You must do this before beginning the internship!

 

4.   Verify that the experience provider has filed a Master Agreement with BYU-Idaho.  (The experience provider can do this online at http://www.byui.edu/internships.

 

5.  Complete and submit the BYU-Idaho Student Internship Agreement at http://www.byui.edu/internships.

 

6.  After steps 1 through 5 have been completed, the Internship Office will register you for the course.  (It will cost you twice as much to register for the course yourself!)

 

During Internship Experience

 

1.   Within 48 hours of arriving at your destination, Email Bro Fisher (FisherR@byui.edu) with contact information: (1) apartment address, (2) telephone number(s), and (3) Email address you will be using.

 

2.   After your first week, send Bro. Fisher an Initial Status Report report that lists: (1) initial impressions you have of the company, (2) project(s) you will be doing, (3) your supervisor's name and Email address, and (4) any other noteworthy information you would like to include.

 

3.   About three weeks after sending your Initial Status Report, send Bro. Fisher an Interim Status Report that lists: (1) progress on project(s), (2) important things learned, and (3) how you are generally getting along.  There will be two of these interim status reports.  Send the second Interim Status Report four to six weeks after the first one.

 

One Week Before the End of the Semester

 

1.   Send Bro. Fisher a Final Internship Report that includes: (1) your final impressions of the company where you worked and an explanation of why or why not you would like to work there after graduation, (2) a summary of the project(s) you worked on and what you learned from them, and (3) a copy of the thank you note you sent your supervisor.  The thank you note should point out something you admire about your supervisor his company and one or two things that you learned during your time there.

 

2   Complete the online Internship Experience Self Evaluation at http://www.byui.edu/internships.  Note: Depending on when your internship actually ends, you may have to do this earlier.  The internship office will notify you about the deadline for your particular semester.  The University will not post your grade unless this is completed.

 

After Returning From Internship Experience

 

Send the thank you note to your supervisor.
