Supervisors are mentors
Share your knowledge today. Shape the engineers of tomorrow.
Understanding internship placements
The foundation for a great relationship
Our Internship Agreement is signed by both you, the supervisor, and your newly hired engineering intern. This mutual agreement forms the foundation for the professional relationship you will forge with one another. Each of your roles and responsibilities to one another during the course of the internship are clear and agreed on in advance.
Getting the work done
Through the development of a pre-prepared work plan, it will be easy to ensure you make the most of your internship position. By selecting a pre-screened Schulich engineering student, you are hiring from a chosen engineering discipline, gaining an individual with a strong work ethic, and providing real-world experience that will set them up for success.
Performance feedback
Through our simple-to-use performance feedback tool - Work Integrated Learning Outcomes - you can easily identify areas of strength and growth for your intern. Performance feedback reviews are done each term, every four months. Our internship career specialists are always available to support you in the evaluation process.
Employer responsibilities
Create and post a job description for the position you have available on Elevate.
Prepare a work plan for your intern’s arrival.
Feedback is beneficial and crucial for interns to succeed in their future careers.
