“We often have interns that come from out of state. We make the effort to connect incoming interns so they can meet each other beforehand or even find housing together. Also, we will connect new interns with past interns to do a Q&A session.”
“Our interns are paired with a mentor at the start of the internship and they are onboarded, learning about tools, processes, and the team. Throughout the duration each intern and mentor will have formal and informal 1:1s working on projects, goals, and personal growth. We have had interns who are supported to expand their skills either through knowledge sharing, job shadowing, conferences, publications, patents, etc.”
