创建实习机会

许多雇主都有项目清单，但没有足够的员工来完成它们，而其他雇主则经历了需要额外员工或在有限预算下运作的高峰期. Interns are the ideal solution. Because of the nature of academic schedules, students often look for internship opportunities that are temporary in nature. 记住, 学生们正在寻找能够提供专业经验和学习机会的实习机会.

• Special Projects — Interns can organize research projects, 计划活动, develop promotional campaigns or design web pages. When developing an internship around a special project, 确定目标, 时间线, 以及结果，这样每个人都能理解项目的目的和期望.
• 持续运营——全年需要帮助的组织可以从实习生担任人力资源支持人员中受益, PR or marketing associates, website developers or facilitators for youth groups.

实习时间可以根据学生和雇主的需要灵活安排.

• 暑期实习——这是学生参加实习最受欢迎的时间. 学生 begin looking for full-time summer internships as early as October.
• 秋季或春季全日制实习-如果雇主和学生位于同一地理区域或实习是虚拟的，则可以在学年期间进行全日制实习. 雇主应该与学生合作，了解他们的课程安排，并对实习生何时可以为实习贡献时间有合理的预期.
• 秋季或春季兼职实习——学年期间更受欢迎的实习选择是兼职. 这使得学生在完成课程的同时可以灵活地作为实习生. 这里也应该指出关于地理位置和虚拟选项的类似问题.

如果学生和他或她的学术部门预先安排，实习的学分可能可用.

• Designate a mentor/supervisor who is interested in teaching others, 了解公司并能为实习生安排高质量的工作任务. Good supervisors not only help interns learn, they help the organization learn about the intern as a potential full-time hire.
• Decide whether the intern will work in one department or several.
• Determine the type of orientation and training the intern will need.

责任问题

雇主 are required to provide a safe working environment and equipment, supplies and workspace necessary for interns to perform their duties. There are some additional needs to keep in mind:

• 医疗保险——学生必须有医疗保险才能在伊利诺伊大学注册课程. 他们必须报告个人保险信息或参加由大学提供的学生健康保险计划.
• Workers' Compensation — If a student is paid in an employment capacity, the student should be covered by the employer's workers' compensation policy. If a student is unpaid or receives a stipend, 雇主最好在现有的工人补偿政策上附加附加条款，以覆盖实习生.

然而，一些实习生愿意在无薪的基础上为雇主工作，以获得宝贵的职业发展经验, 如果提供经济补偿，实习的候选人可能会更多，质量也会更高.

实习生的工资

To calculate a fair hourly wage, 首先确定公司中类似职位的入门级起薪, then multiply it by a percentage. This percentage varies depending on the intern’s education and experience. Follow these guidelines:

Seniors: 80-85 percent of entry-level salary
Juniors: 70-75 percent of entry-level salary
Sophomores: 60-65 percent of entry-level salary

Unpaid or Stipend 实习

当无法支付时，学生必须是这种关系的主要受益者. 法院使用“主要受益人测试”来确定实习生或学生是否属于主要受益人, 事实上, an employee under the FLSA. 简而言之, 这个测试允许法院检查实习生-雇主关系的“经济现实”，以确定哪一方是这种关系的“主要受益人”. Courts have identified the following seven factors as part of the test:

1. 实习生和雇主在多大程度上清楚地理解没有补偿的期望. Any promise of compensation, 明示或暗示, suggests that the intern is an employee —and vice versa.
2. 实习提供的培训与在教育环境中提供的培训相似的程度, 包括由教育机构提供的临床和其他实践培训.
3. 实习与实习生的正规教育计划相联系的程度，通过综合课程或获得学分.
4. 实习在多大程度上适应实习生的学术承诺，与学术日历相对应.
5. 实习期的长短以实习期对实习生有益的学习为限.
6. The extent to which the intern’s work complements, 而不是取代, 带薪员工的工作，同时为实习生提供重要的教育福利.
7. 在实习结束时，实习生和雇主在多大程度上理解实习是在没有获得带薪工作的情况下进行的.

All internships should follow NACE的指导方针 并遵守 U.S. Department of Labor FLSA standards.

• Position descriptions should include:
• Brief organization description and website address
• 职务名称
• Skills and qualifications required/preferred
• Duties and responsibilities
