In planning to allocate resources for your internship program, compensation may be a consideration. An hourly wage can vary depending upon experience; typically the hourly wage for an intern ranges from $8.00 to $20.00 per hour. If you are unable to budget an hourly wage, consider offering a monthly or semester based stipend to the student or transportation and meals while they are interning at your organization.

Internships are flexible; students often plan their internship schedules around their class schedules on campus. A part-time internship can involve anywhere between 10 to 20 hours per week. Full-tim internships can involve anywhere between 30 and 40 hours per week. Once you identify an intern candidate you will need to discuss his/her availability and agree on a schedule that will work for both parties.

Internships usually follow the starting and ending dates of the academic semester. They can take place during summer breaks (typically May -August), during the fall (August -December) or the spring (January -May) semesters.

Typically internship descriptions are posted at least two-months prior to the proposed start date to allow for a one-month window for candidates to submit applications.

In most cases, interns are treated as employees and therefore the same laws apply. It is advised that you consult with your Human Resources department and/or seek legal counsel for further information and specific Department of Labor requirements.
