Successfully Managing Virtual Summer Interns

Managing summer talent, providing mentorship and development opportunities, highlighting and promoting firm culture, and evaluating success and failure—those responsibilities are hard enough in the best of times. Doing all of this (and more) remotely, adds a new layer of complexity to summer internship programs that most managers have neither the time, energy nor resources to do effectively.

Successfully Managing Virtual Summer Interns is designed to empower you as a manager to deliver a best-in-class summer experience for your interns. This program delivers bite-size, on-demand content to managers—to support them in their efforts to provide guidance, support, and feedback; to set and manage expectations, and to evaluate and assess talent throughout, and at the end, of the summer.
