Thank you for your interest in serving as an intern supervisor for our URI students. <\/p>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Our primary concern is providing our students with a professional learning experience. In order to do this we ask the supervisor and placement site to:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Past students have indicated that regularly scheduled meetings with the supervisor to discuss work assignments and performance greatly enhances the student’s experience as well as productivity.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n <\/a><\/p>\n There are many different tasks for students that may or may not be appropriate for a student who is earning credit. The majority of work should be beneficial for the student and enhance their career goals or objectives. If you are unsure of whether something is appropriate or inappropriate contact the CCEE. Here are some examples of each: \u2022 Development, assessment, or evaluation of programs \u2022 Personal errands for employer The Department of Labor holds that if all six of the following conditions are met, the student is not considered an employee and not entitled to at least minimum wage and overtime: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\u2022 Web development
\n\u2022 Participating in important meetings\/discussions and taking an active role
\n\u2022 Challenging work related to student's career interests (as applicable to the internship placement)
\n\u2022 Assisting \"walk-in\" individuals or clients
\n\u2022 Promotion and advertising
\n\u2022 Creating programs or events
\n\u2022 Demonstrating writing, reading, and\/or math skills on a level required for employment in a chosen career field<\/p>
\n<\/td>
\n\u2022 Work that is potentially unsafe
\n\u2022 Performing administrative tasks (filing, copying, answering phones, etc.) that make up more than 30% of the intern's work responsibilities*
\n
\n*Administrative tasks are present and necessary in any job or internship,
\nhowever your student is earning academic credit for his\/her experience.
\nOnce the job becomes more administrative than learning-focused, it ceases to be an internship and becomes a paid work position.<\/em><\/p>
