I’m so glad it’s helpful, Mary! There’s so much they can do that can make a difference, from posting on social media to researching blogs for guest posts or identifying potential speaking opportunities. And, as Lois Melbourne points out in her comment, be sure to check state laws on hiring interns.

Thanks, Jane!

Thanks, Lois! This is really helpful. I’ve always paid an hourly wage while also providing that learning environment.

When one of my daughters interned, she got college credit for one internship but no payment and no structured learning environment at either one of them. BUT, she got fantastic experience. The other daughter also got neither at her internships (these were in different states), but definitely got valuable experience that helped when she started job hunting.

Thank you for stating this Lois! Very important both legally and imho energetically. I have worked with interns by paying them a stipend – not an hourly wage but a somewhat modest sum to help cover their travel expenses, lunch and a wee bit of pocket change.

Thanks Sandy!

I’m so glad it was helpful, Angela! There are so many tasks you can easily outsource to a smart student. Good luck!
