8. Onboard your intern.

Properly onboarding your new intern is a very important first step in creating and fostering a good relationship. The onboarding process ​is important because it engages your new intern early on, gets him or her familiar with the company culture and job priorities, encourages open communication, and most importantly builds trust and forges good connections early on. There are three priorities when it comes to onboarding: Orientation, Mentoring and Communicating Objectives.

9. Evaluation

Evaulating your intern's performance is very important in ensuring that both of you are getting what you need out of this new relationship. The agency mentor should provide routine feedback to the intern and should obtain the i​ntern's evaluation of the experience at the end of their time with your agency. You should also routinely check how you are meeting the potential requirements of their school if they are completing the internship for credit.
