Selection Process

HOW STUDENT INTERNS SELECT INTERNSHIPS

  1. Students access the CURRENT LIST OF AVAILABLE INTERNSHIPS via:

2. Student SUBMITS AN APPLICATION.

  • Students are encouraged to apply to several internships, but only if they are seriously interested.

  • Upon submission of the application, all those listed in the internship (visible or hidden SI admins) will receive an email notice, unless you have opted for only the primary SI contact to receive notice. (?)

PLEASE:

  • Promptly review applications and contact students for further dialogue or to set up an interview or to inform them you will not pursue their application.

      • Changing the status of an application does not generate a notice to the student. Please contact the student directly.

  • Change the application status once you’ve decided whether or not to accept a student.

  • Do not delete applications. We need these as a record of USL students’ activity.

  • IMPORTANT! Edit your Group settings: GROUP ADMINS, please follow these quick and simple instructions. One & done!

TO VIEW AND MANAGE APPLICATIONS:

If you are the PRIMARY CONTACT:

  • Click on Manage > Manage Applications (?)

    • This view displays all applications for the internships for which you are the primary contact.


If you are NOT the Primary Contact:

    • Go to the Internship Dashboard (?)

    • Then click on Applications > Manage Applications (?)


  • To VIEW or MESSAGE the applicant, click the Actions menu on the right.

  • To change the status, click on the status, and then on the drop-down arrow. Designate the statuses as you see fit.

3. INTERVIEW applicants and determine if they are a good match. (See next section: Interview Process.)

4. OFFER selected students an internship and inform them of their assigned supervisor.

  • Assigned supervisors must have completed the required Orientation Session and be designated as an internship admin in the internship listing (either visible or hidden): see GivePulse section for details.

  • Change status of students' application to Application Accepted.

5. After students accept the internship, they will submit an Internship Confirmation Form (ICF) on GivePulse.

  • Students need the following information to submit an ICF:

-Name of the assigned supervisor

-Start/stop dates

-Detailed service schedule (days/times)

-Detailed description of internship tasks

6. The ICF is first reviewed and approved by the student intern’s instructor.

7. Upon approval by the instructor, the selected supervisor receives an email notice from GivePulse and the ICF appears on the supervisor’s My Activity > Reviews view.

  • It is very important supervisors promptly review the ICF so the student intern may begin service hours.

  • See the GivePulse: Internship Confirmation Form section for details on how to review and approve the ICF.
